Corkspin

Serving

Is corkspin ever practical in an actual game? If you use a different name, corkspin is the spin that rotates perpendicular to the forward path, similar to a football. 

Also, how would you perform such a shot?

Hi Horace,

It is usually too slow to be effective because you have to brush the ball sideways rather than forward to get the ball to spin that way.

No Spin Serve

It may sound like a bad idea but the no spin serve can be effective when put together with a range of spin serves. In fact, this is a must have in your arsenal of serves.
