Dear Alois and Jeff,

I see a lot of people hitting very high topspins that go also quite fast. What are the advantages of this and how do you do it?

Thanks

Hi Oliver,

The higher the topspin then the ball must be slower because it is travelling a longer path.  You can still get it quite fast though.  The more topspin you get the faster the ball will dip down.  Concentrate on a good topspin action and then play around with heights of the trajectory of the ball.
