Hi Alois and Jeff, Is there a difference in the ball contact point for the FH Topspin and the FH Drive strokes both against block

Thanks a lot

Hi Michael,

There isn't much difference at all.  In fact for most of your strokes the contact point can be the same.

When you are hitting faster you could hit the ball a little further away from your body to get a bigger swing.

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.

I mean the contact point on the ball

OK, for the counterhit it is more on the back of the ball with a flat contact but with the topspin you can contact the ball more on the top with a brushing action.
