Hi Lachie,

Take a look at the lesson on the Forehand Smash.  This will give you lots of tips on how to play this stroke,.  Follow these tips and see if you can identify something that you can change.

It could be you are hitting the ball from too low or you are not making good position with your feet or perhaps one of the other basics of the technique.  Take a look anbd then let me know if you find the answer.

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.
