How can I avoid the ball hitting my hand ? this occurs when I am blocking with the backhand. Thank you.

Hi Abdullahi,

Try making sure your finger stays low on the back of your bat. Also make sure you are watching the ball carefully so that the ball hits more in the middle of your racket.

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.
