This is the shot that changes the game. If you’ve ever wondered how to generate insane spin and disguise out of the air, the backhand flick is your answer. In this video, I sat down with Len, one of the most wrist-dominant players I know, to break down every detail of the flick from grip to contact point to reload time. His background in table tennis gives him a unique edge in understanding this shot, and trust me, I learned just as much as you will. We cover when to flick, how to break your wrist without injuring it, the difference between rolls, pokes, and flicks, and exactly where to place your speed ups based on your opponent's reaction.

We dive into how the continental grip helps close your paddle face and create more spin, why wrist mechanics matter more than shoulder or arm movement, and how to properly time your flick depending on the height and spin of the incoming ball. You'll learn the difference between flicks, rolls, and pokes, how to identify your strike zone, and the best placement strategies for speed ups. Whether you're aiming for the body, line, or middle, knowing when and how to flick makes all the difference. We also go over nuanced concepts like leveraging underspin to generate topspin and the role of the non-dominant arm for balance. This video is perfect for players who want to evolve their game from reactive to proactive and turn their backhand into a lethal offensive weapon. From beginner mistakes to advanced pattern recognition, this breakdown gives you the full playbook on one of the most powerful yet misunderstood shots in pickleball. Source: Jack Munro
