Coach, I'm having some difficulty using the flick on a backspin ball. How do I know if the return of my opponent can be flicked? Is it possible to flick any short ball?

Hi JM,

It is possible to flick any short ball.  You need to adjust the angle of your bat to do it.

Take a look at the Lesson on Forehand Flick.  This will help you out.

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.
