Ball rollers

Strokes

A E Asked 5 years ago

Hi Alois and Jeff!

I have been wondering how do I get a ball to roll on the table to help me win points.

Thanks!

Hi Shaurya,

This is not something that you need to practice try and win points. The number of times that this happens in a match is too small to really worry about.

We do have a fun video on this. The Around the Net Forehand Topspin will give you the clues to get the basics right but then to get it to roll you need to get the ball at just the right height.

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.
