Blocking in the middle

Strokes

Atanas Atanasov Asked 13 years ago

Hi Alois,

How to block a fast topspin that comes into the middle of my body? I haven't got any time to move, so what should I do?

Hi Nasko,

I think it is probabl easier to move your bat over and use your backhand in the middle. Even if you don't get into good position focus on getting the ball on the table and then work on the next ball.

Alternately, it is a ood tactic to play the ball fast into your opponent's middle as well.

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.
