Hi,
The easiest way to return a side spin serve is to use the angle of your bat. If the ball is going left off your bat change the angle of your bat like a rudder to point it to the right.
You will need to experiment with the different angles until you get the angle just right.
The key is to not try to do too much with the return by playing across the line of the ball. Keep it simple.
We will have a video on spin serves and returns shortly. Stay tuned.
