How do you forehand and backhand flick using CPen.

Hi Yunge,

The forehand flick is similar to the shakehand flick that we show yo in the lesson on the Forehand Flick. However with the penhold it is easier to use the reverse side to make a flick on the backhand side of the table.  Give that a try following the similar principles that we show in the Backhand Flick lesson.
