Hi Sohail-Ali,

Topspin is where the ball is rotating in a forward motion.  Backspin is the reverse of this.

You can do this on your serve or in the rally as well.

Take a look at our lessons on the Strokes & Techniques page to see more about the topspin and backspin.  The push and chop strokes use backspin.

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.
