I've been having trouble returning a short heavy sidespin and backspin service from a player who likes to place it to my backhand. When I tried pushing it short to his backhand or forehand, he would flick it back and end up winning the point. He is also very proficient at looping on both sides so pushing it long is out of the question. I've tried to banana flick (backhand sidespin flick) but the ball would go into the net since the backspin was so heavy and the ball was so low. He told me that I should try to contact the ball (when performing the banana flick) on the side to generate the sidespin and avoid the heavy backspin but I don't see how the physics would work in returning it? Is this the correct method to perform the flick against heavy underspin?
