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

I thought corkspin is the ball rotating on a vertical axis and sidespin is the ball rotating on a horizontal axis
