Thumb and forefinger pressure on forehand and backhand

Strokes

Aaron Barrett Asked 9 years ago

Hi guys

Could you please do a video response on the thumb and forefinger pressure for the forehand and backhand. A lot of information suggests a movement of the thumb on the forehand side.

Thanks

Aaron

Hi Aaron,

Try to keep the grip reasonably similar on both sides. On the backhand sometimes you can put your thumb up a little for more stability.

Whatever movement happens, it needs to be something that you can do very quickly when changing between the two sides.

Banana Flick

The banana flick has become one of the most important returns in table tennis. It allows you to attack almost any short ball and places your opponent under immediate pressure. Still it is a difficult stroke that takes a lot of practice to master.
