Flick against backspin
Strokes
John Wiens Asked 4 years ago
How do you make a flick on a short backspin ball?
How do you handle the deep ball right in front of you, especially if it has a backspin?

Hi John,
If the ball has backspin you need to be careful when flicking and adjust for the backspin by opening the racket angle. You can also use the sidespin flick to deal with it.
Take a look at these tutorials on the Backhand Flick and the Banana Flick. I think these will help you.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
