Hi Alois and Jeff,
How to read spins? I mean the amount of that spins itself and how I trick my opponent with that?
Thanks a lot!
Regards, Archel

Hi Archel,
This is purely a matter of trying to receive a lot of serves. YOu will start to get a feel by the speed of contact that they make as well as the sound of contact. A finer contact will mean more spin a flatter contact will mean less spin.
In our course on Receiving Secrets we go through this aspect of receiving serves.
