Timo Boll Ready Position

Strokes

Gerard Tran Asked 6 years ago

Why does Timo Boll stand really low and stretched when he is in the ready position compared to other players such as Ma Long or Fan Zhendong?

Alois Rosario Answered 6 years ago

Hi Gerard,

It is a way to get his legs activated early in the rally.

Each player has their personal preference in how they get themselves moving early in the rally.

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.
