How do I execute the flick @ 10:00 min in the video? Is this exclusive to penholders? Is it practical? How should I serve to get the opportunity to use this stroke?

Hi Mikey,

This is almost a flick smash.  You can do it with shakehand as well.  You see he is getting up high so that he can use his wrist fully with the penhold grip.  You can do this with your racket more side on as well.  It is a flick like we show you in the lesson on the Forehand Flick but you are using your wrist faster and more fully.

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
