Different Sidespin Rotation

Serving

Hi PingSkills, I want to ask about the Sidespin rotation

So, what's the different when the ball rotate from Left-In front-Right-Back and from Left-Up-Right-Down and also from the Right side.

What i mean is what's the different by put sidespin to the ball from the side of the ball  to left (just like the pendulum serve) and from the below of the ball (just like the Wobbly Shot)?

as i think different rotation = different effect, different movement, different response when contacted on the rubber

please for the answer :D 

thank you very much :D

Hi Frendy,

It is just the amount of forward momentum on the sidespin.  If you are doing a wobbly shot, it doesn't have as much forward momentum and more upward.  The ball will travel forward slowly.  If you brush the ball on the side like in the pendulum serve it will travel forward faster because you are hitting it more forward.

Variation of Speed

Varying the speed is different from varying the length. You can have a fast short serve and a slow short serve. You can also have a fast long serve and a slow long serve.

So, where direction the ball will go especially if it's contacted on the rubber ? With the horizontal circle spin movement with the pendulum and the vertical circle spin movement with the wobbly shot it's different spin
