Hit point project

atp2015

Hall of Fame
An attempt to collect hit point on the ball for each tennis shot. The assumption is that a well hit ball has 3 strings making the contact. Where does the hit point fall with respect to the geographical clock?
1 topspin serve or gs - the southern border of Australia
2 kick serve - between USA and Aus near 10 o'clock
3 slice serve - between France and Aus near 2 o'clock
4 volley - northern border of England
5 slice drive - northern border of England
6 drop slice - southern border of England

What about the movement ? Is it a fixed contact or the strings slide on the ball?

Where is "Elizabeth"? And don't say "at Buckingham Palace".

Is this clock facing the tennis player? Or is it pointing to the side where the edge of the clock is facing the tennis player?

Which side of the court you are working at, due side works slightly differently than ad side.

At first glance it seems like this is for serve question but you added a volley in there, i'm confused.


Also, how do you know that "The assumption is that a well hit ball has 3 strings making the contact."??
