Body Movement during Side spin

Strokes

ghazisarwat syed Asked 11 years ago

Hi Alois,

Could you please help me solve the following problem;

Each time I play side spin from a distance, my body leans back instead of letting the upper body continue its angular motion. What is that I can do to make things better ?

Thanks

Hi Ghazisarwat,

Really focus on this position during the stroke. Even use multiball to practice it so that you can focus just on the motion of the stroke and don’t worry too much about where the ball goes. It could be tension in the shoulder or not being in position correctly to make the stroke before you play the shot.

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.
