Strokes
Hello, in the video it looked like there is topspin on the ball because if I hit it with the racket open it will just fly over the table. So do you put topspin?
Hi Yaqoob,
The Flick will have a little topspin on it to give it a bit more safety onto the table. If the ball is higher you can hit it flatter and faster with less topspin.
