Punch against spinny slow loop

General

Hi Alois

First up, many thanks for the new youtube lesson. Very helpful!!! I look forward to giving it a try at the next opportunity.

I just had a clarifying question.

With the punch, is the idea that you can overcome the opponents' topspin completely by a flat hit with minimal contact time between racquet and ball? Or do you still have to compensate for the topspin by aiming the shot lower...maybe even aiming it into the net?

Hi Ji-Soo,

Glad you have found the video.

The minimal contact time does negate the spin somewhat. The less contact time the less the spin will have effect. However you do still need to hit down on the ball no matter how fast you contact it.
