High to medium topspin balls
Gabriel Kozakevych asked 1 month ago
Hi when my opponent Is playing a slow spinny topspin in with medium height / to a high ball should i Punch the ball better by Punching It on the top of the bounce or maybe its even better to play a Punch with a brushing motion Forward on the top of the bounce or even waiting till the ball Is bouncing and having a late contact on the ball while playing a topspin in what Is usually the best choice for these kind of Balls and what Is long term more effective ?

Hey Gabriel, with the punch against a slow spin it’s important not to rush and take the ball too early or it can fly out. Top of the bounce contact is ideal timing with a firm contact, if you take it to late there is slightly less spin on the ball but as it’s dropping lower it can then be hard to get the safety over the net.
