Turning a serve both ways

How to do a heavy spin serve which can turn both ways right and left?

Alois Rosario Answered 12 years ago

Hi Somshekar,

A serve can only turn one way. The ball can only be it once and one type of spin put on the ball. Sometimes when you are facing a good serve it may feel like it is turning both ways but it isn't.
