Receiving
Hello sir,
My name is Ulhas. I often get confused between cut serve and backspin serve.
Will you please clarify what is cut serve and how to return it effectively. I know what is backspin and how to return it but cut serve looks similar to backspin and while return the ball goes high. if possible please make video of it.
thank you.
Hi Ulhas,
The Cut serve and Backspin serves are just different terms for the same serve. If the ball is popping up higher, it means they have put less backspin on the ball. For that serve, you can turn the angle of your bat forward slightly to compensate.
After the ball has left the server's bat, they can no longer affect the spin that is on the ball. Any movements after the contact are referred to as fake movements and are meant to confuse you as the receiver. You need to focus on the contact to read the spin.
