Backhand flick
Strokes
Yaqoob Mahmud's Asked 6 years ago
Hello, I was practicing my backhand flick but every time it doesn't get that topspin and lands on the table instead it goes over the table. Is this a result of bad rubber on the racket?

Hi Yaqoob,
It could be the rubber or it could be that your are not getting the little bit of topspin to get the ball to dip onto the table. Check your bat for grip first and then think about the technique of your stroke as we show you in the Backhand Flick tutorial.
