Hi, Alois

I have a minor question about forehand topspin. If you imagine a clock on the ball, can you tell me where should be the contact point, for example, on three, four, twelve o'clock? Of course, the boll is in front of you.

Hi Sasha,

You can contact the ball anywhere from 12 to 3 o'clock.  If you have a hard sponge rubber with a tacky surface you can contact it closer to 12.  With a softer sponge you can contact it closer to 3.
