Unexpected shots
Strokes
Dick Wittingson Asked 11 years ago
Hey Pingskills, I've recently been playing someone at my school and he seems to be unbeatable. Every shot I send his way, he continues to get it. Are there any ways of giving him a trick shot he won't be used to?

Hi Vandan,
Rather than trick shots try to work on your topspin strokes. If you can develop these it will make it more difficult to get your shots back.
Take aloof at the Strokes & Techniques page for some lessons on the different topspin strokes.

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.
