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.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
