Hi Alois,

Do we need keep our hand soft or we need to make our hand stiff when doing a flipping stroke? 

Which one will give more consistency when doing a flipping stroke ?

Hi Ernest,

Keep your hand relaxed to allow your wrist to work as well.  Take a look at the new lesson we have on the Forehand Flick to see the movements of the arm and hand.

Forehand Counterhit

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:

  1. Your feet position
  2. Your start position
  3. Your finish position

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.
