Side-Top Spin

Strokes

Sourav Mehra Asked 13 years ago

Hi!

In your videos of sidespin shot how do you execute the shot in which your wrist is upright.What should a right handed player do to generate that spin?

Hi Sourav,

By just having your wrist up you will contact the ball on the inside. IT is the same for a right handed player.

Just think about hitting the ball on the inside. This will get the ball curving. For a right hander, if you drop you wrist it will curve to the left and if you lift your wrist, it will curve to the right.

For those that haven't seen this lesson take a look at Sidespin Forehand Topspin.
