Backhand Flick
Strokes
Micka Yeung Asked 11 years ago
Hey Coach,
When doing the backhand flick, should the paddle contact with the ball closer to the tip of the blade, or near the handle?
Thanks!

Hi Micka,
You can contact the ball closer to the centre or s little more to the tip which is moving a bit faster.

Banana Flick
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.

Yes,
You can see that in most of Jeff's videos - he's very good and very consistent at hitting backhand topspin and backhand flicks with the upper central part of the bat for increased action on the ball. I'm also working towards this, but it will take a while to hit Jeff's consistency level (if ever) :P
Thanks,
Sam
