Hi Jasper,

As soon as the game was played there was some spin on the ball.

However in 1956 Hiroji Satoh used the inverted rubber for the first time which greatly increased the anoint of spin you could put on the ball.

Variation of Spin

Varying the spin on your serve makes it harder to return. You can vary the type of spin but possibly even more effective is varying the amount of spin.
