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.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.

Huh?
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 :)
D K Posted 7 years ago
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 ;-)

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.
