Hey guys, I recently posted a video on social media of Louis Price doing the strawberry flick which went viral and was posted on some of the biggest social media pages on the internet. So I asked Louis to show me how exactly he does this shot.
I hope you enjoyed the video :) Don't forget to eat your 5 a day :D

Let us know in the comments what you call this shot, and if you use it. Who invented the name? Adam Bobrow? 🍓
I've heard it called the French flick before. As for the Starwberry name, Larry Hodges credits Stephen Feth as having come up with it.
I think that's because of Simon Gauzy who made it popular, but i'm pretty sure the first one in pro level who used it was Patrick Chila, one of Simon's coach and a great touch player ! ;)
TableTennisDaily hey I used to do this during my school days. we used to call it the inside out shot xD
pretty sure adam bobrow made it up. never heard it prior though i'd seen it used prior by european players, namely lubomir pistej.
i haven't seen it used by CNT much since they can hit both sides by angling their body. there was some experimentation using this 'strawberry' as a mini sidespin chop but that was bout it.
TableTennisDaily it's boomerang flick.
Yeah that's beast from ttd junior team 😂
The Beast really was beasting even 5 years ago!! That 2 hits, 2 cups was amazing!
That small guy explain so well with just few words.
They're such beautiful strokes! I really hope to be able to master them soon.
I did use this called-by-you strawberry flick against my opponent and some times he literally went crazy because he though I was going for a banana flick and there the ball goes to the other side, the opponent either missed the ball or received it in a way convenient for me to do a strong attack
a group of fruits in the end made my day 😂
I've been doing this for a while and find it really effective:)
Hi， how about turning on the subtitle admission options? I would like to add Chinese subtitles.
I 've been using it since 3 years & it is greatest deceptive shot for the opponents
Louis Price wakes me up in the morning
Cool... like a lot. Thank You for your lesson!
Oh, I try it often. He is very nice!
I've been doing strawberry flick serves for years but I didn't know it had a name 😮 now I be gotta try it in-game
Jo kid. Your wrist in gonna hurt like crazy once u turn 30. Still a great shot :D
I'm not even 30 yet and mine already hurts. And only now I know I never should've played table tennis in the first place. What a waste of time.
It is not that natural for shakehand players because the movement is somewhat limited. For J-Pen players, this shot is even worse because their index finger and thumb must be locked.
However, it is the best and the most natural for C-Pen players like me because it is at a natural angle just like pendulums without changing anything. Various shots such as 'Strawberry Flick' Serves, Flips and Blocks are easy as pie. Still, you should only do it as a set-up shot for the final kill, finish shot, or even serves as a surprise when your opponents are out of position to keep them guessing.
this why you train your damn body even harder
It's bad enough when you develop (table) tennis elbow hitting completely conventional shots.
Im 17 and my wrist is f***** :-D
Where is the contact point on the ball? Are you putting side/top or underspin?
i use this shot like all the time...always thought it was just a wrong shot ..now i know it is the strawberry flick.
That's how I remember Beast!!
lefty tutorial super help ful!! .. .
What else coming next? The Pineapple Flick? Watermelon Flick? Like this so the the Pro's can read this and make a new flick LOL
Great vid btw!
I've spent a few decades mastering the bean flick.
I sometimes use the strawberryflick against players that have problems with reading spin. But the problem with this shot is that it is hard to generate a lots of spin and if you see where the ball places on the table it can be counter attacked easily. The kid that you played with was a talent thoe.
I always wanna learn this
The BEAST!!
My playing style has been very orthodox and predictable but now I am using little tricks like the strawberry, chop blocks and normal chips throughout the rally which has made my game a lot less predictable
great vid
Nice shot bro
Bro whats yorum rackets name
Food for thought
Yes
Great Video
Greeting from Swiss
It does not put too much speed and power like the banana flick plus it gets complicated doing the stroke and I think it is not applicable for an offense because of its stroke but it is good for doing some exhibitional tricks/shots
The end of this video remind me Monty Python - " self defence against fruit " episod :)
Good for traditional penholder
Strawberry flicks are natural for the penholder because of the grip. I have been doing that since day one.
I play Jpen n today after a saw this video I went to my club then I realised there was a beginner, also Jpen, doing that all the time and with much more power than me. I told him about this video n he said that the coach told him not do do It hahahaha It was funny...also because the coach is a 77 years old guy with the crazyest penhold style we know. He should be the one to encourage crazy play. That's what that video did. I'm gonna work on that. So fun!
XuXin had actually done this quite a few times, and it‘s amazing!
eduardo elali Are you really a J-Pen player? You do know that J-Pen Paddle has only one rubber on the main side because of the thickness of the enoki or corked wood paddle, correct?
Also since you have to 'lock' you index finger with your thumb to hold the thicker handle of the J-Pen. The flexibility of doing the 'Strawberry flicks' are much limited than the traditional C-Pen. With that in mind, over time the excessive force you needed to compensate for the locking of the paddle would definitely giving you serious potential injuries on your wrist.
Unlike the traditional C-Pen (which I have been playing for 40 years already) where you can loosely gripping and resting the handle of the paddle until the moment of impact (with the maximum force of impact). You simply can't do the same with the J-Pen.
The advantage of the J-Pen is for those who can play close to the table and have fast counter with the block, close loops and attacks because of the thickness of the paddle. However, once you are stepping away with counter-looping, defensive play or even counter-attack from distance, it is almost impossible because the paddle is just too soft to get any distance or power back. Perhaps with the new ITTF plastic heavier balls, this might be your advantage by playing like Harimoto or the Modern Women's game.
Still, I strongly suggested to watch Coach Em Rat Thich's video on UA-cam where he would carefully explain the various styles of Table Tennis and what kind of paddle + rubber combinations which would work for you. I am not sure how long you have played the sport. But please be careful if you are a J-Pen player trying to learn the 'Strawberry Flicks' because it is pretty unnatural, where C-Pen players have all the flexibility to do that with ease.
By the way, 'Strawberry Flicks' are my specialties that I would either end the rally when the opponent is out of position, or it will be my set-up shot for the last kill. Also you can 'Strawberry Flick' short serves which would create extreme side spins and an acute angle where the return could be impossible. As well, it is also an awesome return on the serve receive for doubles. It is quick, short and deceptive. Most servers couldn't get out of the way fast enough for his/her partner to move at the side of the table swerving far away. When they expected you the next time to do the same, and tried to cover early. Then the side they left wide open, you could just banana flip or blocking the serve down the line for an easy clean winner.
You can do Strawberry and Reverse Strawberry as a Serve, Push, Block, Flicks and even Drives (Xu Xin is the master of that. Just look at his highlight films recently at Halmstad a few months back.)
When I do that at training I get called lazy haha
좋아요 good
yoooo the beast lookin kinda T H I C C K !!
Did he make it anywhere?
🍓🍓🍓🍓
🍌🍌🍌🍌
🍌🍌🍌🍌
Cool
His strawberry motion has to turn a lil bit more as to generate more sidespin. The real deadly strawberry is that it has high speed and also lots of side spin. His is just fast and less on side spin
I saw zjk practice this and it was referred to as the boomerang flick
Gauzy does it but I think the japanese girls are the masters in that (Ito, Hirano) and they really make it effective against Chinese even, less powerful and more spinny than the ones in this video. It's becoming more and more popular. The name is Adam Bobrow creation I think. Can't wait for Tuna Flip to be next, let's put and end to fruit invasion :D
Haha! That's cool!
this is some gourmet xu xin level of dessert
Cant belive that kid's wrist is so good
hahaha my friend use this shot 50% of all his shots xD Have been for over 10 years
Didnt notice he was beast
What related to the strawberries
Adriana Diaz (PUR) is the Queen of Strawberry Flick! The King of Banana Flick is Kenta Matsudaira (JPN).
Good when your opponent has relatively high bouncing backspin balls. Don't think so much about the rub like on a banana. You're trying to hit the ball right at the apex nice and hard so you can just use your opponents back spin to generate the topspin on the ball.
AHHHHHH
But seems hard to hit it back if the opponent can return the strawberry flick
don't forget the salad lol
Like Simon Gauzy !
OK< next Lettuce flick, Cherry flick
I've seen this shot before --indeed, I do it all the time. But what has been given a name was once merely considered to be 'bad form'. That's not to say there isn't merit in the shot. There is obviously plenty of value in doing what would be considered counter-intuitive and unpredictable.
Marcus Allison I agree. I've seen a lot of casual players learn to push with that "strawberry" motion intuitively. They were told to stop.
Thoeun Kong There is nothing absolutely wrong because as a C-Pen player. You can do fast, medium or soft push with strawberry. Instead of going straight down, you put side spins to swerve the ball away from the table. That will get your opponents out of position right away and putting you on the driver seat. Unless they can hit an awesome outright winner, chances are they would yield a very weak return for you and you will have an entire open table to finish off.
If you look back at the classic C-Pen or J-Pen players. That's their bread and butter tactics in the 1980s and also with legends such as Wang Hao and Ma Lin with their strawberries. One of the lefties C-Pen Legend that is still competing in his 50s, He Zhiwen, his signature is the 'Backhand Strawberry' Flick Serve with a really high toss, extreme side spin on the right hand side which the ball would swerve and dip violently on the acute angle of the opposite side no further than one-third deep. His opponent thinking about a down the line slow or fast serves is often way out of position. If they are lucky, they would barely got the paddle on the ball. He would have all day to put away the ball for an easy winner.
@canice yes, you may be mistaken but I agree. There is nothing wrong with that motion. We're saying it used to be told it was wrong until it became popular.
Thoeun Kong It was the same thing with the Reverse Penhold Backhand (RPB) - Pretty much the 'equalizer' of the obvious deficiency of the Penhold players which was the demise of the players using this method.
At the beginning, traditionalists called RPB an 'absolute disgrace' because it gave Penholders an effective and deadly response so others wouldn't be able to pick on their supposedly weak backhand anymore. For the Penholders, other than just blocking (with slow, medium, fast down the line or the strawberry to add the swerve on the side spins - by the way Strawberry blocks were done by C-Pen players back in the 1970s. Before the RPB, fast Strawberry block was the signature shot of legends like Ma Lin and Liu Guoliang.
When used effectively, RPB can be used for various blocking, looping and deadly counter attack from nowhere. C-Pen players could either get out of a defensive jam, counter attacking back quickly into the rally, or it is an outright winner. If you hit it perfectly with maximum speed and spins, the ball literally would have extreme low arc over the net and just 'skips' on the bounce just like around the net snake shots, or Xu Xin's famous 'Strawberry Drive' that bends around the net post, leaving his opponent with absolutely no answer for return.
I even use both Strawberry and Reverse Strawberry serves on my forehand and backhand one or twice during the set just to throw them off. When use effectively, it is a great shot that surprise your opponent to no end, because with different touch, the degree of spins, contact point and various angles. The possibilities are endless.
reverse chiquita!
is that the beast?
do the strawberry flick battle between that dude and mima ito
There is a use for the strawberry flick and thats if you return short balls 80% of the time with banana throw your opponent off with the odd strawberry elegigle
Sadly I'm never be able to do this since my wrist is already dead😓
Greetings from Guayaquil-Ecuador. Their videos are very interesting, but for South America we need you to implement the subtitles in Spanish language in all your videos, please. In my city, table tennis players need a lot of help with the technical aspects of the sport. Thank you very much for your attention.
Saludos desde Guayaquil-Ecuador. Sus vídeos son muy interesantes, pero para Sudamérica necesitamos que ustedes implementen los subtítulos en lenguaje español en todos sus vídeos, por favor. En mi ciudad los jugadores de tenis de mesa necesitamos mucha ayuda con los aspectos técnicos del deporte. Muchas gracias por su atención.
Is he the beast?
The banana (Chiquita )flick you are presenting is simple flick (topspin only). Banana (Chiquita )flick is more side spin so its is going on trajectory like banana . But anyway the kid is good . Nice job
kids got rubber wrists, innovative though. respect
And later develop rotator cuff tears
Mima Ito does this a lot, although she uses her pips side to do it.
Its name is boomerang flick , inside out banana and starwberry
but it seems like punch rather than rub to produce side/top spin that Ito Mima does.
Mein Trainer sagt dazu nicht Erdbeer Flip sondern dumm angewöhnter Scheiß xd
Weil Baum haha
Schelle und dann "spiel den Ball richtig" :D
👍
Hello Jay, do your homework... stop watching TT videos
CHIKITA!!!!
What is the name of the kid?
Louis Price
Felix Thomis
Steven Hawkins
Gauzy is not good as this guy, he is definitely master of flicks.
Soooo young
🍓🍓🍓🍓
🍌🍌🍌🍌
🐒🐒🐒🐒
😂😂😂😂
I'm a penholder, how I suppose to do the strawberry? Banana is 100% possible.
That's chikita
Show me you're banana, sorry I'm dead xD
Is that Beast as a kid??
this is some what diffent from what ito mima did. Your demonstration is rather a punch + spin (speed hit), mima is merely a side spin+ a little bit top pin or under spin ( non speed hit).
I tried this and now I have carpal tunnel.
My enemy did this in last match
i only the banana flick
just my observation, not my judgement
it's chiquita
The new thing? Stefan Feth was killer at this shot 15 years ago.
Watch Romain ruiz and u will see what is the strawberry flick
Louis , you look too young to play like a pro ...@ what age did you start PP ? Is it the best fruit to counter left/right sidespin ? Presently i use full force topspin to kill sidespin . Thanks for sharing.
Why does the kid wierd sound when he hits the ball
who puts lettuce in fruit salad?
fruit ninja
It's not effective. You can put enough spin because the wrist is in an uncomfortable position
Nice but be carefull.
You guys aren’t original but Zhang Jike
ua-cam.com/video/CcrtuXK8zi4/v-deo.html
I saw a russian guy who did much better (faster and with better technique) a long time ago, in a tournament.
its not that effective tbh lmao
Aha! Its all good fun. It can be effective if your opponent is expecting the banana flick cross court, then last minute you pull off the strawberry :)
It's more effective than you think especially when adding that side spin.
The effectiveness is probably just in faking one direction and flicking the opposite. So everytime you line up to flip off the BH you can't assume where it's going.
Trevor Koch that's part of it but the major effect is the side spin, I've seen Guazy throw off tons of opponents.
Reinaldo Pessoa I agree with ray. It’s actually extremely effective. People usually give you a high push because they are not expecting it at all.
So basically, he is very predictable, and of he's doing strawberries like 1:21, he's going to get punished..
Just call it reverse flick. We dont have to follow everything that cringelord bobrow does. And have fun tearing your rotator cuffs 😂
holy shit Louis has lost some ballast.....
