Hi Glanden,
Take a look at our lesson on the Backhand Sidespin Flick. This should give you a good idea of how to play the stroke.
Let me know if you need more help with the stroke.

Hi Alois
With the backhand side spin flick , as I have to move forward , I sometimes rush through with the stroke.
Do I need to wait just for a fraction for the ball to be its highest point in the bounce and then flick fast.
Also on my backhand for long balls , I would like to have the flick action rather than the normal backhand stroke
in order to cope with backspin. Do you advise this ?
Thanks
Regards
Grenville

Hi Grenville,
It is important to hit the flick at the top of the bounce. It will give you a much better margin of error.
You can use your wrist more on the longer backhand ball. This will help you to generate more lift and spin.
