I was wondering if there's a name for this type of flick that Lubomir Pistej does. I'm looking to pull it out in games once or twice on my backhand side to surprise an opponent on serve returns. Any tips on the execution? Thanks.

Hi Lester,

If it is the first one you are talking about, I don't think there is a name for this move.  I think it is more of a compromise.  It is something that players can do when they have good balance and touch.  They can create shots that work and win them points.
