Hi Jorsel,

This is a common occurrence. You need to persevere with your strokes. Keep practicing them and in some matches you need to not worry about the result and make sure you focus on using your new technique.

As you become more comfortable with the strokes you will start to trust them more in a match. It will take time and effort but you will be able to do 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.
