This video also addresses an important question that seems to have mixed answers on YouTube: Where on the racket face should the ball be struck to generate topspin?
Harry says that the ball should be struck above center so that the ball slides (briefly) towards the center during contact. This is what I have just found to be true - to the extent that the ball is hitting where I’m aiming the hit to be on the racket face.
Some other YouTube videos say that the pros hit below center for topspin which is why the face closes after contact during pronation. I agree with Harry!
I just recently found this channel and it’s covering a wide range of topics that are benefiting from Harry’s insight. Thank you!

The main point being that to get a noticeably larger sweet spot, you need a noticeably larger frame, like the change from 65 sq inch wooden rackets to 100 sq inch graphites. Small changes from like 98 sq inch to 100 sq inch makes no meaningful difference in sweetspot, unless you're Federer. The actual sweetspot is exactly that, a spot, where you will feel no twisting. Basically about 1 inch square in the centre. But the playable area, which has been well described here, is about 4 tennis balls size near the centre. Anything hit outside of that will have massively less power and accuracy, to be essentially a shank. Another handy reference is the interiors of the manufacturer's logo stencils, apart from Babolat of course.

I’m not going to lye I always wait till 11 to watch your new video. Love the channel and keep it up.

2:35. On forehands, only Federer, Nadal and Dimitrov hit with and extended arm. Only Federer looks exactly at the point of contact. Nadal and Dimitrov do a little bit. Murray, Thiem, Zverev, Kyrgios, Wawrinka, Tsonga, they all look almost at the front instead of to the contact point. Even more, in some pictures, Thiem is with his eyes closed. But I get your point, you have to tell the students to watch the contact point.

I'm going to suggest an experiment that I bet came to a lot of people's mind while watching this. Can you stencil an entire racquet face, have Coach Gu hit with it for a few hours, and see where he his making contact the most?

Harry at his best with content that nobody else offers!

[romolodifonzo]

Back in the day with wood racquets, the sweet spot was (supposedly) below the center of the racquet face. Today the sweet spot seems to be above the center of the racquet face. If you see photos of pros when they hit, it seems that the contact point is above center.

This was excellent video on the sweet spot of the tennis strings. Now I’m going paint my strings with stencil paint and see where I actually contact the ball on the strings. Thank you for the video

[vinnyester]

I appreciate the tips, I can't thank you enough :)

[Gustavo-xzos]

Yes the proper way to hit is to watch the ball through contact but the vast majority of pros actually don’t do it, just Federer and maybe a few others. They’ve hit so many shots that they get clean contact every time even without watching the ball that long

[peterochester]

8:00 talking about sweet spot in different places for different level players. Sweet spot doesn't change, contact point does. If you hit a kick serve, you will have some wear higher on face.

That poor Slinger box. 🤣 Great video as always Harry! 👍🎾

What happens to the sweetspot when weight is added to the racket?

[jackgillet]

I use a gut poly blend and I can tell I really hit the ball in the top right of the sweet spot mostly

[acasius]

If you know absolutely nothing about Tennis racquets and Physics, this was actually a very good layman's introduction to what is a sweet spot. But if you want to understand say why is it that your new Ezone 98 is far more jarring to your arm than your old DR 98 (even though your technique hasn't changed), you'll need to go somewhere else.

Hey I have a question about rackets. I wanted to switch to a new tennis racket. Right now I play with the Pure Strike 100. I really like the feel of the racket, but I need maybe a LITTLE bit heavier and more durable racket. If you have and suggestions that would help a lot.

[jonathanibarra]

In another video you mentioned Roger uses lead tape to make the sweet spot higher on the racket face. Where would you use lead tape to make the sweet spot higher on the face?

[qtjickings-]

Just a question, are full synthetic strings good for the Wilson clash?

[mikhailnajib]

i need a super advice... here. cause its both on sale. should i pick a wilson pro staff 97 -2017 model OR a Head 100 youtek Graphene Speed PRO - 315 - 2013 model ?

[BorisBecker]

So does balance effect the sweet spot at all? Would a 31cm racquet versus say a 33 cm racquet have different sweetspots?
