Returning a long side spin serve on to the body

Receiving

Hari Thakkar Asked 7 years ago

I am having a problem in returning my partners long sidespin serve coming into my body. I tried topspinning it amd even tried to chop it but couldnt find a trusty solution.

Hi Hari,

Ideally try to make a topspin off the long serve.

You need to work on getting a wide stance and moving out of the way enough to swing at the topspin. The idea of the serve into the body is to not give you enough room to swing. Moving will counteract that.

Fake Movements

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.
