Strokes
What is the rule of thumb for when to use a loop and when to use a drive?
Hi Vincent,
A lot depends on the type of ball your opponent doesn't like.
Against a heavy backspin ball as well you are probably better to loop while against a higher blocked ball you are better to drive.
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.
