What does it mean

[Centryx]

What does it mean when someone says to you, "you hit a heavy ball"

I got that comment the other day and I didn't quite know what it meant.

thanks in advance

Good placement.
You are stronger.
Lots of spin.

sorry - if you don't know what that means, then the ball is not heavy.

Combination of pace and spin.

Fast mover with big spin, that is placed short and in the sweetspot of opponent is called a SITTER ball.

pace and spin

90 mph pace, with good topspin, if it's hit short NML and right to the opponent's strikepoint is NOT a heavy ball.
A heavy ball needs some placement, besides speed and spin.
