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

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.
