Dear coach I am unable to block any of my opponents ball it is loose or spinny. I lose many of my matches because of my block. Please teach me a way to improve it.

Hi Karthick,
If you are having a lot of problem blocking with the short pimples it may be worth login to an inverted rubber for a while till you get better feel for the stroke. It is easier to block with the inverted.
Take a look at the tutorial on the Backhand Block to make sure you have the technique correct as well.

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.
