Forehand Flick - Amateur vs Pro technique in SLOW MOTION

In this video I compare the forehand flick technique of an amateur player (myself) with the forehand flick technique of a professional player (England No.1 Liam Pitchford).

Liam has a much more consistent and aggressive forehand flick technique, but how is he able to do this?

To help us work it out, I use some side-by-side slow motion analysis. By doing this we can see some clear differences in our technique, including shot preparation, the back swing, the type of contact we make on the ball, foot position and follow-through.

In the video Liam is using the following equipment:
