One counter one topspin
Strokes
Debo : Asked 11 years ago
Sir,
I am totally in a state of confusion whether to practice “one counter and one topspin alternatively in repetition”. I started this practice as I heard from somebody that this will increase my board control. But, recently one of my practice partner told me that this is not a good practice as in a real game against a good player this habit may result in giving him an advantage as during a rally, I may give my opponent the opportunity to hit a powerful attacking shot against a plain counter return.
Kindly give your valuable advice on the above subject.

Hi,
Treat each ball as it comes. If you have time to make a topspin each time then you should. If though you are short of time then you should make a counter.
If you do this in training then you will get into the habit and also do it during matches.

Forehand Flick
When your opponent plays a short ball to your forehand, you can play an attacking stroke by using the flick. This stroke is also known as the flip.

But Sir, my main question was, should I continue to do this practice or not?
When you are doing this type of practice, hit each ball as it comes, making topspin or counter depending on how much time you have.
