Hi Alois and Pingskills

i saw your videos but the backspin balls is very difficult to me

My question is...in the flick you never wrist the ball or just i must keep training like in your videos?

Thanks

Hi Cristh,

Against a backspin ball it is difficult to flick the ball consistently. You can use a short topspin type of flick to lift the ball over the net. Take a look at the lesson on the Forehand Flick for more information on this.
