Hi Alois and Jeff,

Can you please explain the angles required to execute banana flip on short and low serve with large backspin and moderate sidespin on it?

Best,

Parkash

Hi Parkash,

If the ball is low with backspin, open up the angle of your racket so that your racket is facing more towards the roof.  If there is less backspin with more sidespin or topspin, then close over the angle of your racket.

Fake Movements

After the ball has left the server's bat, they can no longer affect the spin that is on the ball. Any movements after the contact are referred to as fake movements and are meant to confuse you as the receiver. You need to focus on the contact to read the spin.
