Strokes
I have been unable to return balls which dribble over the net and bounce twice quickly on my side. They seem impossible to return because often they are hit hard and I am expecting them to come at fast and far back. Is it possible to increase reaction speed to the point that one could lunge forward and return that kind of ball?
thanks,
Adam
Hi Adam,
This takes many many years of playing. I don't think there is anything specific you can do to help you with these. Just accept that they got a bit of luck and play the next point as hard as you can.

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.
