Banana flip with long pimples

Strokes

Rodrigo Aromas Asked 7 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.

Forehand Topspin Variations

A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.

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.
