Angle to a fast shot

Strokes

Joshua Escalada Asked 13 years ago

Hi Alois, I have some strong forehand topspin problems. I can't find the proper angle to a long topspin shot. All of them are short and long. Please help me. Thanks.

Hi Joshua,

This is a matter of experimentation. It is impossible to always get the right angle because it needs to change for each shot you play depending on the speed of the ball and spin of the ball coming to you.

Mainly try to keep your bat on one angle all the way through the stroke and keep watching each ball after you hit it to gain more information for the database in your brain.

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.
