Hi guys and to all flickers, I would like to know in which situation you guys would flick at the side of the ball or flick at the back of the ball? Or just always flick at the left side of the ball no matter what if you're a right-handed player. I twist/bend my wrist to the maximum, so I think my rotation brush is nearly enough and I do wait for the ball over the highest bounce (sometimes I don't lol: DD).
I'm using the flicks a lot in match in returning serves and 3rd short ball. Most of the time if it's close to the net, I found that just need to brush at the back of the ball, it would be totally fine and i could manipulate the direction of my flick into their wide forehand corner pretty easily. But sometimes, if the ball is super heavy and load with side spin, go nearly half-long, flick at the left side of the ball is usually more comfortable, but the placement of the ball will very be likely to go their BH, where they are waiting for the demi counter. Could we adjust the direction of the flick by contacting the left side, cause it's not really natural when you contact the left side and you're trying to flick to the left too. Sometimes I go for the right side of the ball, in nature, the way we should contact for the push if the opponent serves right hand pendulum, but the problem will be the side spin will often drag the ball sideway off my bat; if I contact on the right side of the ball, flick for the middle or wide FH of opponents are easily doable. In short, my flicks are predictable if the opponents know what spin they're gonna deliver lol . I don't know if my approach is right, so I hope to get some experiences.
