How to deal with heavy topspin as a defender when we are pushed away from the table

Alois Rosario Answered 3 years ago

Hi,

Try to have a more vertical stroke to deal with the heavy topspin. Also have a softer hand to absorb some of the spin.

Take a look at our tutorials on Backhand Chop and Forehand Chop to help you as well.

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.
