hi. i am a right handed player but i am also left footed. sometimes i find myself stepping with my left when the correct way would be to use the right one. i am working on paying close attention to my leg work but my question is:  Can i actually use my left footed situation to my advantage and if so would it work?  Thank you very much.

Hi Alex,

The reason we put or right foot a little in front of the left or even is so that your body can rotate properly and be balanced when you are playing.  I would say try to change your feet position.  It will allow your whole body to help you with your strokes.

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.
