Hi Sandra,

Playing a low first topspin is difficult but is can be effective.  The main thing is to experiment with the angle of your racket and trajectory of the ball to get this to happen.  Don't be worried about making some mistakes into the net when you are training.  You need to find how low you can go with the stroke initially.  I see a lot of players always hitting the ball too high but not challenging themselves because they are afraid to make a mistake.

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.
