Hi. What's the different between backhand topspin, counterhit, and flick?

Hi Jason,

They re all backhand strokes that are built on the same platform of a stroke.  The flick is the smallest of the strokes and then the counterhit and then the topspin.

Take a look at the tutorials on these three strokes and you will see the differences.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
