Hi Riduan,

You still need to brush the ball on contact but brush the top of the ball more to keep the ball down. Make sure your rubber has some grip to play this stroke, because if it hasn’t the ball will go straight down.

The banana flick has become one of the most important returns in table tennis. It allows you to attack almost any short ball and places your opponent under immediate pressure. Still it is a difficult stroke that takes a lot of practice to master.

How to read the amount of spin from the push?

Hi Erriza,

You can watch the other players stroke and see the type of contact they get on the ball. If they brush under the ball it will tend to be backspin but if they push behind the ball and have a flat contact then it will be less spin. You can also watch the flight of the ball. The backspin ball will tend to hold up in the air a bit more because of the backspin. This is something that you won’t see at first but with experience, you will start to see the differences.
