What is the difference between corkspin and sidespin?
Alois Rosario Answered 12 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.
