Strokes

Can't we hold the TT racquet with 2 fingers i.e. the pointer finger and the middle finger on the rubber ?

Hi Saad,

You are allowed to do that but your wrist will be limited in movement.  This will limit the amount of spin that you will be able to get.

It is best if you just use one finger on the back of the bat.

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.
