Compared to the Backhand Flick twin brother, which has been storming with many variations over the last 10 years, is becoming one of the most dangerous tactics in modern times. On the opposite side, the short toss on the forehand side is now very rare for the world's top athletes, will it be extinct?
Technically, probably not much to say as this is a basic shot, there are a lot of videos on youtube that teach this. However, in terms of combat, it revealed too many weaknesses.
The first disadvantage is in terms of speed, when doing a flick on the side whether forehand or backhand, one foot will have to step deep into the table, however, on the forehand side, your hand will stretch. out more than the backhand, which slows down quite a bit for later shots if counter-attacked.
The second disadvantage is the direction of the shot, with a short ball on your right, when you hit in a straight line, it will be difficult to put out strong force because the bent wrist trajectory does not allow. No matter which forehand your opponent is, with the modern powerful two-fork style, you'll get a deadly counter-attack in no time. If you throw the ball diagonally to the far corner of the opponent, in case your opponent is forehand like you, you will hit their FH strong point, there is a high chance you will get a jerky loop back. mi or a quick quick jerk, then with a slow back, your reflexes will decrease.
It can be useful if your opponent's hand is different from yours, like when Ma Long slams right into Xu Xin's backhand (Xu Xin can't hit Wang Chuqin's or Lin Gaoyan's backhand but gets BH back) .
The third disadvantage is the ability to create spin, if the Backhand Flick creates many types of spin and many different spins, the Forehand Flick is very difficult to do so because the wrist range is not long.
Currently at the top of the world rarely see players using Forehand Flick. Again, there is Ma Long, the short right throw on his table is very flexible, tricking the opponent into creating a surprise because when entering the ball, his movements look exactly like he is about to catch a short, but Ma Long throws the ball very flexible and tight. .
Harimoto will also do it from time to time, but Harimoto's right throw is not as flexible as Ma Long, in return it has a terrifying speed, the opponent can still counterattack but the ball is not fast and strong, then Harimoto is already waiting to finish off.
Xu Xin, of course, because he plays the Penhold, the wrist range is larger, so it's much easier to hit the table.
