Great series Luke. At 5:05 you mention "hitting the top corner" of the ball. Can you explain this a bit?

Great question! Generally from the mid court region the ball will be higher therefore getting your racket above the ball and hitting the top corner will allow you to hit down on the ball therefore keeping the ball lower after it has bounced. Important for it to be the middle-outside corner of the ball to avoid pushing the ball into the sidewall. Glad you enjoyed the playlist

this is excellent. So well explained both rationale and execution, and within the grasp of a wide range of abilities. Nice concept.
