Hi Long,

It can be a difficult ball to react to especially if they flick fast.

You first need to make sure that you get back into your ready position.  The ball will feel like it is heavy so you need to lift the ball up with a more vertical stroke.

If they flick slowly then you can take the opportunity to attack the ball as well because it has some topspin on it.
