Hi Dan and Tom, how can I flick heavy backspin balls? Do I use more wrist? How can you guide me on this.

Hey Hamza, yes the wrist is very important to accelerate and brush a bit more upwards and through the ball to counter the backspin. It’s also important to get the ball at the highest point of the bounce so it’s no to difficult to lift. Sometimes if the ball is really low and with a lot of backspin then flicking can be very tough and forces you to play slower and lift the ball, in this case it’s often better to just touch or push the ball back and keep it tight.
