how does Andreas Levenko stay really low for the whole game I have never seen any player stay as low as him also what physical training must he be doing to stay in that position all game and have such good footwork?

Thanks,

Tam

Hi Tam,

To stay low you need strong legs to start with.  Exercises like squats can be good to increase leg strength.  Also doing a lot of footwork drills will help you to strengthen your legs and maintain the position.

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.
