Hi all
For those of you that use this stroke regularly, I am interested in your approach.
The biggest challenge for me is choosing the right ball to attack with a flip - either serve return or shorter push to my BH.
In most of my matches I tend to face either a faster, longer serve which does not allow for a flip, or a shorter backspin or back & side serve which can be very difficult to flip if the ball stays low.
I often find myself determined to use the flip and then forcing it on the wrong ball and missing it.
So I am interested in;
1. How you choose which balls to flip and at what point you make the decision to flip and not push?
2. Tips on how to flip a backspin or back/side service
3. Do you use it to attack shorter balls in general even if not serves?
I love this shot but find it so hard to implement into my matches.
Thanks
Peter
