Corkspin

Serving

Is corkspin ever practical in an actual game? If you use a different name, corkspin is the spin that rotates perpendicular to the forward path, similar to a football. 

Also, how would you perform such a shot?

Hi Horace,

It is usually too slow to be effective because you have to brush the ball sideways rather than forward to get the ball to spin that way.

High Toss Serve

The high toss serve looks spectacular and it gets results. It is particularly suited to the pendulum serve but we encourage you to try it out with all of your serves. Follow these instructions and add the high toss serve to your repertoire.
