Upgrade Your Game The Backhand Flip

The most complete/enlightening backhand flip/flick tutorial for sure! Thank you very much. Just found your channel recently, I'm really enjoying all the content 👍

This guy is not just a good teacher he is also amazing person with a big hart ❤. How simple is this guy when explaining something… I’m watching another tutorials and there is not such simplicity in other teachers.

[@PechPongTT]

Hey thanks, I appreciate the kind words! I’ve had the opportunity to work with many students and I’ve found ways to help them understand this game. I’m glad the internet can spread the info to a much wider audience:)

[@marksalvadalena5877]

Keep up the good work! Even though you are a high-level player, you still remember, and are able to clearly explain, so many useful tips to help out a lower-level player such as myself.

Thank you very much! I’m glad you understand it, I also coach a lot and I enjoy being able to convey technique in a way that’s understandable!

Amazingly good. Don't want to repeat what others have said. The analogies you use and the animations you use in the teaching have made it easy to understand and remember! Great job! Big thanks!

[@PechPongTT]

Yes I want the Info to be new and understandable! Glad you enjoy it 😁

[@sashazxtt]

Great video. There's a video with Pitchford demonstrating his flick. He closes the paddle a lot more. Of course, he is among the best in the world 🙂. For those who don't have a wheel contraption, use an empty water bottle with a ball on top (remove the cap). Brush the ball off without knocking the bottle down. Don't remember where I saw this, but I found it a great way to develop spin.

[@PechPongTT]

That’s an awesome way to learn! I may use that thanks for the idea. Yeah pitchford creates great speed and is very precise I think as a player improves they can slowly close the angle little by little to get more direct linear speed speed

[@anderslindstrom4212]

Thank you for taking the time to do this videos! I appreciate the amount of work you put into them and I hope you will manage to continue recording! Getting lots of input for my own training 👍

It's great to see you posting new videos again, Seth. Thanks for another great video with quality content! Best TT channel out there for sure. Also, I recently saw a video of your last match with Sharon that Samson Dubina posted. Your backhand looks lethal now! Your receives of Sharon's backhand serve were superb as well. Clearly, you've been putting in a lot of hard work and its paying off.

This is absolutely incredible! You touch on so many different facets of the flip! As a ~1900 player trying to improve, I really want to build more flips into my game, but I often lose confidence during matches when I have trouble judging spins and depths. Your discussion on paddle angle, looseness of the wrist (I'm penhold, but same concepts apply), and footwork was super helpful! I've only recently discovered your videos, but have been watching them religiously and telling all my friends! Keep it up!

[@juliuscaesar5001]

Very useful information, same thing with forehand topspin against backspin, advanced players hit the ball pointing foreward , I used to always point my racket upwards, and by using my wrist now and more speed I am able to hit the ball aiming foreward, it needs practice, but like you said with backhand flick against backspin I'd rather open up the angle of the racket to be on the safe side, thanks man

Yes, opening the angle can really be a game changer, glad this video could offer new ideas to help continue your progress

Congrats for such a good tutorial. Very didactic, also well adjusted technically to medium level players. As you perfectly pointed out, only a few players can perform elite movements, as they master the Flick after many years of practice and stroke evolution.

[@PechPongTT]

Thank you, yeah its confusing when you watch the pros, I felt it was important to point some things out because of the disconnect in level. I have had to take my own advice and try building up my game in a more stable manner its more fun that way anyways! thanks again :)

[@TheTurajj]

Thanks a lot for this video - which kind of rubber (speed, control, spin, tackiness, angle, thickness etc.) would you recommend for best support for the backhand flip? Thank you 🙏

[@PechPongTT]

Dignics 05 and Tibhar Mk are both great options, they have long dwell time and good spin which is perfect for flipping, you give up ease of blocking because they hold the ball and don’t “bounce” off the racket but it’s a trade off.

[@chrisbrodroy1183]

Amazing video, learned a lot and has a lot of info I can put into my games. Recently I haven't been hitting my flips, and I had to be taught that I need to aim for the left side and to close my bat angle more.

When you want to strike the ball more aggressively with spin closing the bat angle is good. But much confidence is needed

Great video as usual. I am watching your videos and maybe I just didn't see this yet but I wanted to get your views on grip switching when switching from forehand to backhand and vice versa. I have seen Sun Yingsha and many other high level players do this. Currently I play with fixed grip but I think my backhand suffers due to this.

[@PechPongTT]

Hey good question yeah I would say a small change in grip is not a bad thing you just have to get very good at switching from the two and also get used to hitting shots while being in the other grip backhand grip while hitting forehand because inevitably it will happen and you want to be able to put the ball in play and not lose the point. Hope that helps :)

[@MsSithathor]

Good video! How do you hold the racket for the backhand, and where does your thumb go? Also, do you always try to contact the ball in front of you? What if it moves too much to your left side?

[@PechPongTT]

Wow good questions, the thumb should go a little up if you watch fanzhendong or Harimotto they both have the thumb pointing upwards for backhand, if the ball goes wide you really need to learn to move sideways you must contact the ball on the outer left side and try to make as good a stroke as you can if you cannot move enough fan does a really good job of this if you watch his matches he is able to make a great stroke on the ball even though he is moving and it’s on his left side. I try to contact in front of my every time, but I have a tendency to reach for the ball too far in front so it’s about waiting until the ball gets a bit closer so you have leverage and are not reaching so much.

Great quality stuff as always👍 One thing: Maybe you could have also talked about the recieving position. I recall you briefly mentioned this in a video already, for example flipping like zjk from in between the bh corner to the middle of the table or like harimoto more from the middle, so that you can flip also from the fh side. For me this makes a big difference how to reach out to the oppenents serves. Nevertheless, best regards from Germany:)

[@PechPongTT]

Hello and Thank you! Yes that’s a good topic that maybe I missed.

[@timobohni9213]

Thx for another great analysis/tutorial. You mention that you like to bh flip short serves to the fh side. Why not fh flip?

With the backhand players are able to get more speed and spin so they try to take a backhand from the forehand corner.

Fantastic stuff, one of my biggest fears is flipping the ball, you pin pointed my error, which is to attack hard and fast with a closed bat, which fails 90% of the time meaning I simply just push these days, now I try to push short then long to try and get a weak shot to attack, not good enough really and ends up being a push to the death. Great, I’ll try opening my bat, maybe my confidence will return to take the shot. Thanks.

[@robert2780]

can you recommend a serve which will become your typical serve.

[@PechPongTT]

If any it would be heavy underspin and dead serves, mixing them long medium long and short in different locations of the table. It keeps the spin clean as it’s hard for the opponent to do much sidespin returns. While those combos I mentioned will have enough variety to really change up the dynamics of the points and keep them uneasy. Everyone is different but I like to use those against basically everyone

is this also called the Chiquita ? I often see pros sometimes start with the racket almost horizontal to the table top

[@PechPongTT]

Hello yes the Chiquita! Pro players make much speed and spin and have incredible timing. I think as a player gets better and better they can close the angle down and become more aggressive

[@tonizizanovic873]

Hi, your videos are very good and usefull. I have one question and maybe your explanation can help other people. I am an intermediate player, started playing very soon, was little older and backhand flick is very difficult for me. Some young proffesional players need some years to manage backhand flick. I am good in backhand push and I always decide to use it when the balls come short to my backhand side. Is it wrong, must I learn backhand flick to be better player? Sometimes when I decide to return serve with backhand flick, I convert backspin to topspin and it is easier for my opponent to win the point, because it is easier for him to return my topspin than backspin (if I return the ball with push). Best regards, Toni

[@PechPongTT]

You dont have to learn how to backhand flip, I would learn how to flip when they do topspin serves to the backhand because it can be hard to push those but all the other serves you can push, if you have a good defense you can play very high level like this, when I went to sweden 90% of the players are pushing the ball except for tospin serves and long serves. best of luck!
