Just wanna clarify this, where should I contact the ball on the racket if I'm going for a fast aggressive shot?

Hi Jasper,

For a faster topspin I would contact the ball near the leading edge of the racket.  However if you flatten the contact out more for more speed, then you can hit it a little closer to the middle of the racket.
