Contact point FH topspin and drive

Strokes

Michael Elia Asked 13 years ago

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.

Forehand Smash

The forehand smash is used when the ball is around shoulder height or above. It is a much harder stroke to play than it looks. Follow the tips on this video lesson to ensure your smash is an effective weapon.

I mean the contact point on the ball

Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 13 years ago
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.
