Why Players Hop When Flicking
Strokes
Romeo Chua Asked 9 years ago
I have noticed that top-flight players hop when they flick. Instead of using one leg, their other leg goes in the able and the other one goes out. Is there any reason why they do this? Or is it just to wow the crowd :) ?

Hi Romeo,
Yes, when they play a stronger flick they do this For a right hander the left leg will go under the table for a finishing flick. As you do this the right leg comes out to balance the body. You can see Jeff do one at the end of the Forehand Flick lesson.

Snake Shot
A snake shot is a type of stroke which is specifically used against a drop shot. It is usually loaded with a heavy spin so that the opponent finds it difficult to counter. The type of spin can be backspin, sidespin or topspin depending on your choice. You need to make a movement after hitting the ball to confuse your opponent.
