In a band, the center of percussion might refer to the drummer right in the middle, But when talking about the science of tennis rackets, what happens when the ball hits the center of percussion?

The center of percussion on a tennis racket is spot where the force felt by your hand is at a minimum. When you hit the ball exactly at this spot you feel the least amount of vibrations run up your arm.
