I have been taking lessons from local coach and he often reminds me to change my paddle degree angle on different returns or paddle clock positions. I am trying to find this information in print so I have visual references to make my corrections. My coach has brought me a long way in learning in the short time (6 months) but we have a language issue between U.S.A and Yugoslavia and often no matter how hard we try I can't always understand what he is telling me. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may provide.

Hi Harold,

You can look at some of the tutorials on returning serve which will talk about the racket angle.  Start with the Returning Spin Serves tutorial.

We also have the tutorial on Learning To Spin which may help.

See if these help.
