Hello!

How i can hear the sound of the ball hitting the bat that is telling what type of spin is on the ball in the rally and in the serve? I know that good players used that sound and they have good reaction on that balls in the serve and in the rally.

Thank you!

Hi Yuriy,

Hearing what type of spin is on the ball comes with experience.

Spinnier contacts tend to be a softer sound.  Faster flatter contacts make a louder sound. 

When playing for a while this becomes a natural part of your reaction.  You will pick this up quite naturally and won't have to think about it.  In fact to some extent you are probably doing it already.
