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.

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