Strokes
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

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.
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:
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.
