Corkspin and sidespin

What is the difference between corkspin and sidespin?

Alois Rosario Answered 10 years ago

Hi Ayesha,

It is much the same. Just the ball tends to spin on a different axis. With sidespin as we know it the ball spins more on it's vertical axis whereas what they refer to as corkscrew spin tends to move more around a horizontal axis.

Strawberry Flick

The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.
