Hi,

When i make backhand chop with long pimples, topspin that my opponent gave me doesn't turn into backspin, rather it turns into sidespin. What can i do?

Thanks!

Hi,

The main thing to think about in this situation is the angle of your racket.  Focus on keeping your racket parallel to the ground.  It sounds like your racket is tilted at the moment which will cause the sidespin.

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.
