Forehand side swipe
Strokes
Bryan Lee Asked 7 years ago
Hi pingskills
So I was watching Quadri Aruna vs Zhang Jike and saw Quadri doing a side swipe off Zhang's pendulum serve. How does he keep the ball so controlled? When I tried the ball went all over the place. Is the forehand side swipe better off a normal pendulum or reverse pendulum?
Thank you very much?

Hi Bryan,
It is a risky stroke against either but I would find it easier off the Pendulum serve as the ball is coming in towards the bat.

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.
