Strokes
Hi pingskills, I have been training for a year now and have been able to get intermediate strokes but my footwork lets me down, how can I improve my footwork? And how can I further improve my strokes.
Hi Virgil,
In our Strokes and Techniques section we have a series on Footwork that will help you.
The main thing to think about initially is to get a good stance and then to focus on how to remain balanced during the movement.
With improvement of your game in general take a look at our Beginner Building Blocks of Table Tennis. This will show you how to move from learning your strokes to be ing able to improve your game play.
Question actions
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.
