I was watching your videos on lessons of topspin, using the backhand and forehand and I was asking myself that if wanted to make a good stroke using both hands were exactly should the ball hit the paddle, is it in the center or is it a little bit on the edges, if you could answer me that question I'll be thankful.

Hi Samuel,

To get better lift, try to get the contact a little more to the top of the bat.  For more speed contact the ball in the centre of the bat.

Start though by getting the ball to contact in the centre of the bat and work on from there.

explain me A very tacky surface, is it better to lift a heavy back spin ball?
