Receiving
My opponent uses heavy side spin left or right. I can't see the spin in time to correct my paddle angle.
I try to return it back hard...
any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dennis Capewell
Hi Dennis,
It is a matter of watching and learning as much as you can each time it happens. Then you need to alter the angle of your racket appropriately. This is a bit of trial and error because the spin can change subtly.
After the ball has left the server's bat, they can no longer affect the spin that is on the ball. Any movements after the contact are referred to as fake movements and are meant to confuse you as the receiver. You need to focus on the contact to read the spin.
