Just wondering if anyone ever thought about this or maybe has some theories or something.
But what are the differences that make a topspin groundstroke ball behave differently from different players?
For example a junior (player A) from my group sessions has a ton of spin in his strokes, but its completely different than for example another junior (player B) spin.
Player A really swings furiously upward and the ball has the highest arc, but its not that fast more loopy arc and not penetrating, then as the ball bounces it flies into you like the ball picks up alot of speed instantly due to the spin, but it doesnt bounce super high just very towards you.
Player B has medium arc so less than player A, and his ball jumps towards u but slightly less fast but the bounce is quite higher, so even tho the arc is not as high the ball bounces way higher but not as fast towards you more upward.
And then my shot apparently when talking to some from the group, according to them my shot has the lowest arc usually but is more penetrating and yet it bounces much higher than player A who has a very high arc.
So what are the differences between these different spins?
The most odd one is from player A as I dont get how come he has such a high arc and as the ball bounces it picks up like 5x speed into you (jusr appears so obviously it doesnt work like that) from alot of spin, but yet the bounce is not particulary high, its very odd and I dont know what to make of that.
So simplified:
Shot A
High arc over net
Medium bounce
Ball shoots towards you after bounce
Shot B
Medium arc over net
High bounce
Ball shots more up into you
Shot C
Lowest arc over net
High bounce
Ball shots more up into you
