Table Tennis Flicks

Strokes

sam Unknown Asked 17 years ago

Off a serve, if the ball is very low, can you flick it? Or should i just try to brush the ball up?

Thanks

Hi Sam,

Yes off a short serve you can flick the ball. It is easier to flick a side or topspin serve. The backspin serves are a little more difficult. The lower the serve the more difficult as well. The flick can be faster if the ball is higher, or if the ball is really low and with backspin you willl need to brush it a little but you can still flick it.

Watch the Lesson on the Flick. It will give you an idea of what you can do and the stroke involved.

Snake Shot

A snake shot is a type of stroke which is specifically used against a drop shot. It is usually loaded with a heavy spin so that the opponent finds it difficult to counter. The type of spin can be backspin, sidespin or topspin depending on your choice. You need to make a movement after hitting the ball to confuse your opponent.
