Fast ball less spin

AmekunRaiane Rivadeneira Asked 12 years ago

is it true that when the ball is fast there is less spin on the ball during service or rally?

Hi Amekun,

If a ball is harder it will travel faster.  If it is moving faster it may have less turn on it when it hits the table.  A softer ball will turn more because it doesn't bounce forward as much.  It actually will still have very similar amount of spin but the turn will be different because of the speed.
