how to lift a spinning serve?
Alois Rosario Answered 15 years ago
Hi Goutham,
To lift a spinning serve you need to brush the ball fast. Try to keep the ball on the bat for a very short time so that the spin of the serve doesn't take effect.
Brush the ball fast and with a very fine contact. The stroke is similar to a Topspin off Backspin stroke that you will find in our Free Online Lessons.
