Hi Taimoor,

When the ball hits the net it does drop and lose speed. It depends if the ball sits up higher or drops lower. If it sits up then a flick is possible. However, if the ball drops low then the push or slice is probably a better option.

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.
