Dear coach, I try to play proper backhand in my game. But i am confuse when should I play backhand counterhit or backhand flick? What is the function of backhand counterhit in game? Thanks, Best wishes, Somchai

Hi Somchai,

When the ball is short you can make the flick stroke. The counterhit is used more as a control shot in the rally. It isn't used very much as you would normally either block or topspin the ball.

The banana flick has become one of the most important returns in table tennis. It allows you to attack almost any short ball and places your opponent under immediate pressure. Still it is a difficult stroke that takes a lot of practice to master.
