Topspin/Counter-hit a Flick
Strokes
Romeo Chua Asked 10 years ago
I'm sure we have all seen how players attack the flick to their backhand with their backhand. The question is, are they doing a topspin or a counter-hit? I find it hard to believe that they are even able to attack the ball.

Hi Romeo,
The better players are making a topspin off the flick because they are seeing the ball early and have a very efficient topspin stroke.
At first though, you may need to make a counterhit because of lack of time.
Also, move back a little more when you see your opponent starting to make a flick.
