Punch Leg Position
Strokes
Kaustubh Kulkarni Asked 11 years ago
What is the right leg position while playing a punch? Which leg should be in front while playing a forehand punch and which when playing a backhand punch?

Hi Kaustubh,
For the Backhand Punch, you can still be in your normal ready position, with left leg slightly ahead of the right. However if you have more time you may want to put your right foot slightly forward to generate more power.
The Forehand Punch is not a common stroke. You are better to smash or topspin that ball.

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.
