What spin is it?

Atanas Atanasov Asked 13 years ago

Hi Alois! Hi Jeff! 

Again I am Nasko from Bulgaria and this time I want to ask you about help for understanding the spin. When my opponent is serving his is rotating so much and I can't see the contact. I try to watch if the ball is spinning but it becomes difficult to understand it because sometimes is side-top spin and sometimes straight sidespin. Also my opponent serves so fast to different sides of the table and that why it is very difficult.

Hi Nasko,

This is a matter of getting more experience.  Being able to understand the spin that is on the ball comes down to having seen it before many times.

Forstly though you need to understand the basics of spin whcih it sounds like you do.

If you need more help with it purchase a copy of our Receiving Secrets Revealed DVD.  This will give you a very good understanding of spin and how to deal with it.
