Hey guys,

I was just wondering what is corkscrew spin? I've heard a few different things but I wanted to know what it really is.

Cheers,

Xavier

Hi Xavier,

This is an interesting concept. It is where the ball is spinning around a horizontal axis as opposed to a vertical axis and hence it has little forward momentum.

Varying the spin on your serve makes it harder to return. You can vary the type of spin but possibly even more effective is varying the amount of spin.
