Contact point for hitting a fast topspin

Strokes

Jasper Low Asked 3 years ago

Just wanna clarify this, where should I contact the ball on the racket if I'm going for a fast aggressive shot?

Hi Jasper,

For a faster topspin I would contact the ball near the leading edge of the racket. However if you flatten the contact out more for more speed, then you can hit it a little closer to the middle of the racket.

Strawberry Flick

The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.
