Hi Evan,

The problem is probably that you are not hitting the ball with enough spin yourself.  Just try brushing the ball a little more while still going forward.  This should keep the ball a little lower.

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.
