Easier for penholders bcoz they can hold the blade handles facing upwards. So, even if the balls are low, they can still flick them, without having to worry their hands hitting the table. Handshake players have to hold the bat handles horizontally, which restricts their motion As you can see, most of these examples come from penholders
i like your videos a lot, but in this one i disagree, the forehand flick is not easy to do at least not for shakehand grip players, it is easier to do the backhand flick with shakehand grip and more powerful, that's why a lot of players avoid completely the fh flick and go to the forehand side to make a bh flick. If it would be easy to do a powerful fh flick everybody would do it, instead most players do the bh flick. Anyways thank you again for you contribution to the sport
I think the backhand flick is a more easier technique to learn than the forehand flick. From my experience as a backhand dominant player, I usually flick with my backhand most times and the height and duration of bounce doesn't really matter except some slight changes in racket angle at times depending on the height of the ball and distance to the net level. Contrarily, for the forehand flick, the wood and the rubber used contributes to a good flick. Though, a good technique can be developed irrespective of the equipment used. My current playing style now is more of forehand flick than backhand flick. I have come to understand that the forehand flick requires more precision to attack than the backhand flick and in most cases a 45° to 90° racket angle to exercise a heavy loaded forehand attack. And in similar cases wrist action for a spinny flick. The forehand flick is far more dangerous in my opinion to the backhand flick coz of it's speed especially when it's done @ the right time. All these depends on everyone's playing style. Just stating my opinion though.
I thought forehand flick is a lot easier to learn. It's a simple motion and can be done anywhere on the table by stepping in. Backhand flick requires anticipation, perfect positioning, and good feeling of the ball. It's a lot more advanced and precise than forehand flick.
@@saleem2991 maybe a weak and easy to attack fh flick yes, but a powerful kind of topspin loop that you can rely on in the whole game no, but a powerful bh flick is more easy to do, that's why most player use bh flick to receive short balls.
@@ezequielmollinedo9903 I agree that FH flick is not something you can rely on the whole game. By its nature it's not a fast shot and you don't get an opportunity to use it a lot like BH flick. But idk about the forehand loop being that hard. In my club, we have amateur Chinese players with amateur footwork who can full-commit to forehand loops but rarely use the backhand flick, preferring to stay safe by pushing instead.
I would agree. The BH flick has more range of movement so easier to accelerate. I have lots of problems with my FH flick because I can't generate enough acceleration to lift backspin balls.

To flick or not to flick ...that's the point. Thank You ERT.
I think backhand flick is far better than forehead flick . Do u have any suggestions ?

@@rockys7726 Backhand flick is easier and more controlled when it comes to placement of ball. I find it so difficult to do that with the forehand.
