Hi ,Rosario.

I watched your videos but I dont understand two things:

1.Is there light moving of the wrist down to up in the ball-contact ?

2.Is there light close of the racket at  the ball -contact?

Or whole moving is only of the elbow (forearm), arm and body ?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Il,

There is a small relaxed movement with the wrist. You don’t need to force the wrist through but let it relax and move through with the motion of the stroke.

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.

There is very light top-spin with the wrist??

The wrist will help with the topspin.
