Hi Somshekar,

You need to focus on keeping the ball low and to you opponent's weaker side.  Once they have the opportunity to lay a strong ball it is often too late.

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.
