French term or phrase: contre-top
La technologie Efficient Curve permet d’allier puissance et rotation en top-frappé, et offre une incroyable sécurité en contre-top.

Not sure whether this is a video game or real table tennis. If top-frappé is topspin, what is contre-top? Top-sur-top? And what about "topspin frappé"???
