What is the difference between corkspin and sidespin?
Alois Rosario Answered 11 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.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
