Strokes

Hello Alois!

I want to know the angle of racket when you topspin against flat push (it may be very little backspin).

How stroke changes if you want to topspin harder?

Thanks

Hi Mindaugas,

When you hit the ball that has little backspin you can angle your bat a little more over the ball. 

The less spin the more you can angle over the ball.

Similarly, when you hit the ball faster, you can angle a little more over the ball.  You need to brush the ball fast over the top. This can be effective as you are generating good spin and speed.

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.

It could mean you have the angle too much down or you are not brushing the ball fast enough.
