Hi again

When doing a forehand loop what way should my wrist flick. Also what way should my wrist flick for both backhand and forehand pushes.

Hi Thomas,

For the Forehand topspin your wrist flick both sideways and forwards to allow more movement.  For the pushes it just tends to move sideways.  You can add a bit of forward and backward movement if you want a bit more spin.

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.
