How to read spin

Hi Dew,

This is the hardest part of the game.

It is important to have played for a while before you can get the feel for it.

Take a look at the action and contact of the server.  This will give you some information.  If they brush down on the ball the ball will have backspin.  If they brush up or over the ball then it will have topspin.  If they brush across the ball then it will have sidespin.

You can also take a look through the lesson we have on our lessons page and the Receiving Secrets section for Premium members.
