Hello Coach,

How to perform sidespin flick with penhold grip?

Alois Rosario Answered 13 years ago

Hi Nabeel,

The best way to do it is to use the reverse side of your racket. This has a good angle to make this shot. The sidespin flick was first used by penholders. The shakehanders have just tried to copy it.

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.
