Hi Manu. In matches I can reach a maximum of 120–130 km/h when hitting the ball using the most powerful shot (Acceleration). Then I go play online matches and see players hitting shots of 150+ km/h. How is that possible?

I’d like to point out that this also happens in single player even when I have the controls set to “arcade” and auto-positioning on “Fast”, so I assume it’s not an issue related to positioning and timing—or am I wrong?

Depends on what playstyle you're using, what forehand power you have, what acceleration trait you have, speed of incoming ball and also at what height you hit the ball. If you hit a slow high bouncing ball at your shoulder height, you'll crush it. I've hit some forehands at 170+ km/h in online sometimes given the perfect scenario so you're probably not hitting with all this things happening at once

gironachos,
the 2 most important factor are the height => https://www.managames.com/tennis/doc/Te ... l#shoulder , and hitting at top of the bounce => https://www.managames.com/tennis/doc/Te ... html#depth .

Also important : the strike needs to be prepared early enough, at least 0.5 seconds long, and a low topspin skill raises the maximum possible speed.
