Force to be used for the flick shot

Strokes

Grenville Pereira Asked 13 years ago

Hi Alois

In case I have decided in my mind, to make the flick (instead of the push) , is the force of my body movement coming into the table along with wrist movement enough or do i need to take my wrist little backward in order to get more power into the shot.

Right now , i see that i just have enough time to ensure that the ball is at its highest point and come in and flick it quickly .

Thanks

Grenville

Hi Grenville,

Ideally you will have a little backswing with your wrist when you really want to generate a fast flick. Just bend your wrist back past the natural position. It doesn't take a lot of time to do that so you should have enough time to execute the stroke. However, it does become a bit more risky because of the bigger swing.
