Backhand sidespin flick footwork
Receiving
Marcin Lonak Asked 9 years ago
Hello Pingskills,
I need a lot of training in basic strokes, but I found out for myself, that the backhand sidespin flick suits very well my abilities. Since, I'm a professional drummer, my wrist control is pretty developed, fast and effortless, So the sidespin flick comes to me naturally easy.
I noticed that straightening up my body a little, instead stayin low, works with this kind of stroke better. I get better results in consistency. Should I experiment with it more or leave it and keep staying low during this stroke.
If I have to tilt the racket a lot, it's also easier to move the wrist with a more straighten body position

Hi Marcin,
If the higher position feels more comfortable at this stage then keep experimenting with it. The higher position may allow you to get the wrist dropped down over the table more easily.
