How to return a topspin sidespin tomahawk serve effectively?
Hi Haseeb,
The best thing is to flick or topspin it back depending on the length of the serve.
The difficult part can be allowing for the sidespin. If you are both right handed then often using the backhand is easier because you have the natural angle of the racket to counter the sidespin on the ball.
After the ball has left the server's bat, they can no longer affect the spin that is on the ball. Any movements after the contact are referred to as fake movements and are meant to confuse you as the receiver. You need to focus on the contact to read the spin.
