Hi Il,

The main principle is to adjust the angle of your racket slightly to allow for the sidespin. The other important thing is to strike the ball quite firmly. If you have a soft contact the sidespin will have more effect.

Also watch the flight of the ball carefully as it comes to you as the curve sometimes leads to a mis-hit.

Banana Flick

The banana flick has become one of the most important returns in table tennis. It allows you to attack almost any short ball and places your opponent under immediate pressure. Still it is a difficult stroke that takes a lot of practice to master.
