No such thing

what is the optimum angle between the racquet shaft and forearm at contact on a comfortable height forehand volley????

I don't think there is any "optimum" angle. Somewhere between 0 and 90 and more likely 20 and 70. The classic description is 45 degrees, but that is not the critical element. Given that the angle is positive somewhere between 20 and 70, the critical element is that the angle be maintained through the stroke.

This information in post #2 seems liberating because of all the people who have a mechanistic idea about this and therefore try for one angle only.
