Backspin without side spin

Serving

Jean Kim Asked 11 years ago

When I do a backspin on the floor, it goes side way. Why does it?

Alois Rosario Answered 11 years ago

Hi Jean,

This is because your bat angle is slightly tilted. Keep the bat completely straight and you will get pure backspin on the ball. Keep practicing this on the floor until the ball comes straight back to you.
