Backspin

Will Unknown Asked 16 years ago

If you were to put so much backspin on the ball that it hit on your opponents side then without them touching the ball it bounced back to your side what would it be? Is it your point because they never touched it or do you just play on?

Hi Will,

This is an easy one.  It is your point.  Your opponent has to hit it before it comes back for it to be play on.

As an interesting point your opponent can hit th eball even after it has passed back over the net onto your side as long as it hasn't touched your side yet.
