Hi Mahad,

In general you should hold your bat as loose as possible.  This will allow your fingers and wrist to operate properly.  Any extra tension in the fingers and writ will mean your strokes will be effected.

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.
