I played a guy with Tenergy rubber and the spin he got was completely unmanageable to me ..... how do you return a ball that just "takes off" as soon as your rubber touches it ??
Thanks guys ...

Hi George,
Learning how to return spin is one of trickiest and at times most frustrating parts of the the game. I can hear your frustration!
The basic principle is to watch the contact and then alter the angle of you racket to be abel to counteract the spin on the ball. I think the biggest problem I see if that players try to do too much with the return.
