Ball Spins Back

You Asked

Hi Alois and Jeff!

I have a small doubt about a funny thing that may happen once in a while.If someone hits a ball with such strong backspin that it comes back to his side after bouncing on the opponent's, is that a point? My friends say that you get the point if something like this happens.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Gabriel,

If you hit it with enough backspin and they don't touch it before it bounces back on your side, you win the point.

Try it out sometime.  See if you generate enough backspin to make the ball return.
