Hi Coach,

Thanks in advance

Hi Trilochan,

In general the topspin is better because it has a better margin for error.  The topspin will give you better clearance over the net.

You will see at the higher levels, most players will topspin rather than smash, unless the ball is very high.

Banana Flick

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.
