Alois, i was wondering does J-pen have its own attack against short or medium distance underspin balls to your backhand side? Or do I just push and set myself up for attack. I notice that shakehand players and cpen players can flick underspin balls to their backhand side and not be so vulnerable because they don't always push.
Hi Noah,
That is a good question. I haven't seen any Japanese penholders executing the banana flick. Has anybody else seen some examples of this?
I think it's important to note however that a really good short push is still a very effective stroke, so you can always keep working on that and make it a real strength of your game.
Alois and Jeff commentate on some footage of Alois returning serves and explain his thought process as he gets ready and then executes his return of serve.
