Hi Coach,
Can i play a flick to sidespin serve. Last time you suggest to use your bat like a rudder to steer the ball back. But i want to attack on sidespin serve so what is your opinion about flick
Best Regards

Hi Ahtesham,
Flicking a sidespin serve can be a good tactic. I remember our old coach Mr Zhou used to tell us if there is any sidespin at all, then flick, if there is only backspin, then push.
Initially it is best to make sure you are understanding the spin on the ball by steering it back. Once you have done that, then tactically in a match you can decide what type of stroke you are going to play.
