Hi guys,
Ive been trying to add the backhand banana flip into my game and when I know that there is a short backspin serve coming I can already prepare for the stroke and execute it perfectly with alot of rotation. But the problem is that when recieving Im standing a little bit further back from the table because when the opponent serves long I can attack the ball better. but because of this Im a little bit too late on the banana flip and (because I have to wind up my wrist and forearm which takes much longer than a flat flick) and then Im forced to play a push because If I then try to banana flip I can only flip it into the net because the ball is already too low.
So can you give a tip on how to read the length of a serve earlier so I can prepare for the flip already.
Thanks
