Forehand topspin
Strokes
Atanas Atanasov Asked 12 years ago
Hi guys,
I was wondering what should be the angle of my forearm in my starting position of the forehand topspin?

Hi Nasko,
You can have it slightly bent at the start but ideally it should be fairly straight to get more speed through 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.

I noticed that Jeff's forearm when playing the forehand topspin is quite closed. Why is it that way?
That is just a trait of Jeff's stroke. He tends to generate more power from his waist and body through his legs.

Are the guides and videos on oneofakindtrading okay to follow and do you think these skills are really what the chinese learn?
Hi Jonathan,
I haven't looked through these guides and the videos don't appear to be available anymore. I don't think the actual Chinese team watch these videos either.
