Good day coach..

My friend is good in flicking but he is powerful if he is doing the flying flick..and the good thing is he will wipe his racket to change the direction of the ball and i dont know how to block it...

And i want to know to do this so called "Flying Flick" and base on my observation when i do the short ball and higher on the net level he will lunge and at this same time flick the ball and also he will wipe his racket to change the direction of the ball.

Tell me coach how to block this technique and tell me how to do it..

thank you

Hi Reynel,

Try to keep the ball lower.  You can also put the ball slightly longer on the table which will mean that they are hitting the ball from further away from the net.

If he makes the flick you need to really watch the ball well to get the most possible time to see the direction and speed on the ball.
