What is the difference between corkspin and sidespin?
Alois Rosario Answered 11 years ago
Hi Ayesha,
It is just terminology. It is the axis that the ball is spinning on. What players refer to as sidespin is where the ball spins on its vertical axis and corkscrew is where it spins more on it horizontal axis.
