Banana flip with long pimples
Strokes
Rodrigo Aromas Asked 6 years ago
Hi Alois,
Is it possible to "banana" flip short backspin with my long pips no sponge.
Thanks,
Rodrigo

Hi Rodrigo,
It is possible to attack the ball. The Banana flip tends to suggest sidespin which will be hard to generate with the pips.
Take a look at the tutorial on Long Pimple Attack Against Backspin which will give you the principles of attacking the backspin ball.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.

Rodrigo,with OX pips you cannot really do a sidespin flick,but as Alois says there is an opportunity to attack a short backspin.
The stroke can also look like a shovel hit.
