Strokes
Hi,
I was wondering how to do a forehand loop to my forehand side. Lately, I've found that my loops always go to the backhand side (from my POV). I know that variety is important, so I was wondering if there's a way to FH loop to the FH side.
Thanks.
Hi Henry,
Changing the direction of your loop is just a matter of changing the angle of your wrist slightly. You can also do it by changing body position a little but a slight wrist change is all it really needs.
You can also think about just hitting the ball a little earlier in your swing. By hitting it earlier you will get the ball to go across court. The best idea is to place a target on the table and aim for it. This will change your angles quite naturally.
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.
