Hi Pingskills

Hi Tri,
He uses his body to fake direction. He moves his body a little to the left and then hits the ball down the line using his wrist to change direction.
To fake whether he is going to push or flick you put your bat right under the ball going forward like you are going to do a push. Before contact you change the angle of your racket and move the bat up vertically.
The fake shot is very difficult and should only be done when you have a very good grasp on the basics of the push and flick.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
