Where to start?
Strokes
Rohan Keogh Asked 8 years ago
Hi guys. Once I'm comfortable with the most important skill (keeping the ball on the table) what are the first strokes/shot I should develop and perfect? It is a drive, loop, block, what?
Cheers

Hi Rufuss,
We recommend going through the videos in the order they are presented in our Strokes & Techniques section.

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.

Thanks Jeff. I had a close look at the video list and the progression logic is clear. What level of consistency should I aim for in each stroke before introducing a new one?
You don't need a strict target, and sometimes it's good to try and sneak ahead a little bit but as a guide try to get 20 balls on in a row.
