Hi Alois and Pingskills

usually i can see in the professionals that the angle of the racket in the backhand sidespin flick is so close then, which is the right form to do this? open angle or close angle?

Thanks

Hi Cristh,

The angle will depend on the amount of backspin on the ball.

The more backspin the more open the angle will need to be.
