i've started table tennis about two month ago.

And i've been watching free lesson of this site everyday.( all pages ^^)

And it's really helpful for me. And great thanks to both teachers.

I have one question about wrist angle of forehand stroke of shakehand grip.

My coach ask me to bend the wrist to downword making the end of racket pointing right side

( parallel to the earth surface ) which make me uneasy and feel pain on my wrist.

Is this correct way for forehand stroke ?

Hi,

That is the correct way of having your wrist.  Try to relax your wrist more as this is actually a natural position of the wrist.  When it is relaxed it will get into this position.

Thanks for your kind words about the site.

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.
