Can we compromise angle with speed

Chandrachur Mukherjee Asked 8 years ago

Hi Alois,

I know that if the ball has more backspin the stroke needs to be vertical to lift the ball. I want to know that if we are making a quicker stroke do we need to reduce the angle and make the contact a little bit more horizontal for the same amount of backspin than in a slower stroke. Intuitively it makes sense to do so because when we contact the ball at a higher speed, there is more brushing action which negates the incoming backspin, thus the amount of lifting we need is lower. Just want to verify.

Thanks.
