What can and what can't be flicked

Roger Winstanley Asked 6 years ago

As regards short backspin balls coming to me (from a serve or a push) is there such a thing as an unflickable ball?

Hi Roger,

At the top level it doesn't seem like there is a ball that can't be flicked.  Perhaps the heavy low backspin ball makes it more difficult to flick effectively enough at times but as far as making a flick, I think it can be done off any ball.

The next key thing then is to have variation to start to get some errors.
