How can you do a backhand and forehand chop when you are a penholder?

Hi Martin,

It is a more difficult stroke.  That is why you don't see many penhold choppers.  I know of one that still plays in Fiji.

It is a matter of getting the bat angle right and laid right back.

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.
