Ball hitting my finger

Strokes

samuel benjamin Asked 13 years ago

I am a relative beginner. When I play, including rallying and serving, the ball hits my index finger a lot and I lose the point. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Hi Samuel,

This can be annoying. It may be that you can watch the ball more closely. Also check that your finger is not creeping up the rubber during the rally. It should be down really low but still on the rubber.

Strawberry Flick

The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.
