The Topspin Motion
Strokes
Harikrishnan U Asked 11 years ago
Hello Sir,
It's been a long time since I played table tennis, Now Im back on action...Joined a club so that I could practice everyday..U both have been of great help to me from the beginning ..I really appreciate your effort!! Thanks a lot :)
Now coming to my question, I’m having a confusion regarding the Hand movement while top spinning/Looping . I'm not able to understand how much of forward moment and how much of vertical movement (Lifting up) is necessary. It would be great if you could help me with that.
Thank you in advance :)

Hi Harikrishnan,
Firstly, thanks for the kind words. I am glad we have been able to help.
For the forehand topspin, focus on the start and finish positions of your bat that we show you in the lesson on the Forehand Topspin Against Block. If you do that then you will get the stroke pretty right.

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.
