Hi Barsat,

Watching the ball carefully will give you the best information.

Eventually after a lot of training, you will start to recognise the flight patterns of the ball earlier.  This is one of the really important parts of training more.  By seeing the flight of different balls and different strokes you start to get the picture of what the ball will do in flight.

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.

Hi Mohammed,

We don’t have anything specifically on this.  But we do talk a bit about watching the ball in a lot of our videos and responses.
