Hi Sir,

My opponents are serving tomahawk serve long at Backhand I am not able to read the spin. And even if I read spin I am not able to return.  Spins are, Sidespin backspin and sidespin topspin.

Hi Shreyas,

If you are guessing the spins at the moment that is good.  Give it a try and experiment with the angle of your racket for the return.  There will be a lot of failures at this stage but the more you do it and watch what happens when you hit the ball the better you will get at reading the actual spin on the ball.
