When I receive a serve I want attack my opponent but when I try backhand flick it goes in net so I always have to just push the ball and give a chance to my opponent for attack.

How can I improve my backhand flick?

Hi Hardik,

If it is always going into the net then think about lifting the ball more.  You can do this by using the grip on your rubber to lift the ball with spin.  Or you can open the angle of your racket to get the ball higher.

Take a look at our tutorials on the Backhand Flick or the more advanced Backhand Sidespin Flick for some ideas.

  1. Foot Position: Ensuring a stable and balanced stance to facilitate quick movements.​ 
  2. Start Position: Positioning your racket and body correctly to initiate the stroke effectively.​ 
  3. Finish Position: Completing the stroke in a way that prepares you for the next shot.​ 

Additionally, we discuss how to adjust your bat angle if the ball goes long, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the same start and finish positions without coming across your body.​

Maybe you can apply some topspin(to lift the ball over the net and add speed) and sidespin(to confuse opponent)!
