Contact point FH topspin and drive
Strokes
Michael Elia Asked 12 years ago
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.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.

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.
