this is a really nice way to play a short floating shot at mid court that's over to your FH side.
Getting the racquet away from the body early and with an obvious continental grip will get your opponent racing forward and diagonal, thus making it super easy to just chop slice the ball X Court. Of course, need to have a decent enough FH dropper to have to be respected.
If opponent tries to hedge sides, it's not to hard to learn a chop FH slice up the line from this position also as a third option.
So many times, when I topspin FH this ball, my common opponents really sit on Xcourt, and no matter how hard I hit it, they put a racquet on it up the line, with me totally out of position!!
"Topspin down the line" everybody will say, but seriously that is a tough shot even for pros.
Anyway, just an approach to consider to make tennis a little easier at the rec level ✌
