One of my friend makes a topspin with some sidespin I can block the attack but i am not able to block it to his backhand it always goes to forehand as i am a penholder what should i do to counter his forehand sidespin attack
thanks

Hi Nikhil,
To make it go to his backhand it is easier to use your backhand. This will give you the easier angle to hit it over to that side of the table. So next time, step over and use you backhand block and angle it over there.

Strawberry Flick
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.

by using my backhand it goes to the middle of the table but not his backhand
Push it forward towards his backhand. Hit the ball quite flat.
