What is explosiveness in striking a ball?

Does it mean a snap force to the ball only when it is contacted?

Hi Oscar,

Yes it is the acceleration during contact.  However this doesn't mean that the speed only comes on contact.  You need to maintain a smooth stroke as well.

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.
