Hi Alois and Jeff, Is there a difference in the ball contact point for the FH Topspin and the FH Drive strokes both against block
Thanks a lot

Hi Michael,
There isn't much difference at all. In fact for most of your strokes the contact point can be the same.
When you are hitting faster you could hit the ball a little further away from your body to get a bigger swing.

I mean the contact point on the ball
OK, for the counterhit it is more on the back of the ball with a flat contact but with the topspin you can contact the ball more on the top with a brushing action.
