Looping a smash
Strokes
John Nguyen Asked 11 years ago
I saw lots of pro looping a smash. Can you teach us?

Hi John,
This is a stroke that is difficult. However one you get the basics of doing a good topspin stroke you can do it off a lost any ball. to do it against a smash you need to watch the ball carefully and track it well because it is moving so fast.
Work first on getting the loop or topspin correct against a slower ball and then slowly speed up the ball to see if you can continue to make the stroke.

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.
