Skidding topspin

Strokes

Abhiram Reddy Asked 13 years ago

Hi Alois.

Is it possible to hit forehand loop that stays low after landing on the table after landing (sorta skids off it like when u skim pebbles in a pond ).If yes, can you please tell me how to do it describing the spin speed racket angle and the type of of return to do it against.

Thanks a lot

Hi Abhiram,

The main thing is to keep the ball low over the net and get plenty of topspin on it. This will tend to make the ball skid through quite low.

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.
