Topspining a smash

Strokes

Ali Zarei Asked 12 years ago

Hi Alois. I saw one of the Zhang Jike's games and when Ma Long smash the ball to him he topspined the ball. It's to difficult. Can you give me some advice?

Hi Ali,

This is an advanced skill to be able to time the ball well and react fast enough to make this stroke. Focus more on the basics than trying to make these sorts of strokes.

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.
