Of course you want to hit somewhat inside the baseline, but that's a lot higher than I expected.

Are you sure that calculation is correct? That's about 9 feet in the air if my rough estimation is right (I mean on the flat shot).
I can easily hit a ball within 2 feet of the net top and have it land out, I know this because I unfortunately do it too often.
