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.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
