Brushing or Hitting The ball

Strokes

Johnny Long Asked 11 years ago

Hey. I'm just a bit unsure about brushing the ball or hitting the ball more. I am a beginner, so should I put more momentum / speed into my attack strokes or brush them more? Or is this just a personal preference?

Thanks.

Hi Johnny,

Have a combination of both spin and speed. To start with though keep your stroke slower and with less spin and aim for consistency to be able to get a lot of balls on the table in a row.

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.
