Serving
hello,
I saw in a video where it showed how ball movement works, and during it, it showed the ball doing side spin, but from top to bottom rather than back to front. Does that make sense? If you understand, what is that called and how would one do it?
thanks, David
Hi David,
This has been called the corkscrew spin.
This is just a variation of sidespin and has less forward momentum. It is done by brushing at the base of the ball in a completely sideways motion.
Varying the speed is different from varying the length. You can have a fast short serve and a slow short serve. You can also have a fast long serve and a slow long serve.
