Handling Strong Spin
Receiving
Sean Morrissy Asked 15 years ago
Hi guys,
I recently joined a club and I've been really struggling against players who use spin a lot. Balls that I'd normally return well are either going into the net or flying off sideways.
Generally speaking, how do you handle spin? I've watched your videos and tried to apply the things I learnt, but I'm finding it really hard to put into practice successfully.
Thanks,
Sean

Hi Sean,
Spin is one those things that makes our game difficult. It is a matter of learning the effect of the spin first. Watching to see which way the spin is taking the ball and the being able to counter it by using your bat at correct angles.
