To block a fast spin serve

Achyutaram Sonti Asked 11 years ago

How can I counter or block a fast spin serve?

When my friend serves, it comes in a normal way and when it touches the bat it spins and changes its direction. Sometimes it also comes very fast. 

PLEASE HELP ME!

Hi Achyutaram,

It sounds like he is putting a lot of spin on his serves.  Learning to return spin will take a bit of time. FIrst you need to watch how he is hitting the ball and also watch the flight of the ball.  

If they are brushing the ball from your left to right then the ball will want to spin off to your right when you hit it and vice versa.
