Hi Pingskills

Can I hit the bottom of the ball when I am trying to serve with sidespin? Will the ball curve more?

Hi Felix,

You need a combination of under and side to get the ball to turn more sideways.  The backspin will stop the ball moving forward too much and the slower speed and sidespin will cause the more turn.
