What is the best way to attack off a short backspin ball, or preferrably. the most effective way to return it, Flick, Push?
Thx
Hi Sally,
The best thing to do i to push the ball back short. This will make sure your opponent can't attack and then hopefully you will get a long ball to attack next.
If you do want to attack the short ball, the Flick is the shot you should look at doing. The flick is a less reliable shot especially off a backspin serve.
the when is the bh sidespin flick is used?
Rahul,
This is a more advanced stroke. If you are able to do this you can use it as an attacking stroke off almost any short serve.
Sally,
The sidespin flick comes under the ball a little for the backspin serves so can lift the backspin. Difficult but possible.
