Hi Waliid,
You ask and we deliver.
We have one on the Banana Flick called the Backhand Sidespin Flick. We now also have a video on the Strawberry Flick. The Strawberry Flick tutorial will be up on the site shortly.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.

Seems like table tennis starts to become a bit fruity :DD

Yes, I seem to serve a lot of lemons . . .
Haha... Nice one Gordon... Jeff needs some of your humour for his Joke of the Week on the Ask the Coach Podcasts.

Maybe they should call a forehand flick a plumb? Just to keep the fruit theme of course.
I like your thinking Nigel :)

Nigel,so Jeff is fruit? :DD

I'm still waiting for the grapefruit stroke to come out...lol :)
Rohan Keogh Posted 7 years ago
I'm not sure that would be berry good Mike, but you never know, it could be grape ;-)

Nigel C Posted 7 years ago

This thread has gone pear shaped!

Hehe :D
Any place for orange?
Rohan Keogh Posted 7 years ago
It depends, if Alois can orange some banana and strawberry daiquiri shots, I'll apple-lie a (fruit) loop for a grape return.
Oh, and just fyi, Jeff isn't fruit, he is straight up and down. (let's see who gets that one ...)
Nigel C Posted 7 years ago
Rohan, I'm not sure I following the line of your thinking :)
Rohan Keogh Posted 7 years ago
Which line Nigel? There are two ;-)
Nigel C Posted 7 years ago
The plumb line!
Rohan Keogh Posted 7 years ago
Weight n line then Nigel and you might start to see straight. Fair dinkum! I'm being straight up (and down) with you.
