Hi Alois I hope you are doing very well.
My name is Dale I am 14 years old from Australia and have been playing for 2 years and I wanted to ask when hitting an around the net shot where do you want to contact the ball and how low you should hit it to the floor.
In this video a guy called Adam Bobrow is great at these shots but He hasn't explained or I don't understand where to contact it.
Please watch how he hits it from 5:20 to 6:00.

And could you also explain to me where you should stroke on the ball for this shot (where on the ball for the the topspin and sidespin on the ball).
Do you stroke forward or up for the topspin and spin hook around the net.
Kind regards Dale

Hi Dale,
Here is one we prepared earlier...
Around the Net Forehand Topspin.
Hopefully this helps you to start to get this spectacular shot...

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.
