Hi Argie,

Thanks for your comments.  To hit a sidespin with a counterhit you can do it by angling your bat.  If the sidespin is going to take the ball to the right, you can counterhit with your bat facing slightly to the left or vice versa.

Snake Shot

A snake shot is a type of stroke which is specifically used against a drop shot. It is usually loaded with a heavy spin so that the opponent finds it difficult to counter. The type of spin can be backspin, sidespin or topspin depending on your choice. You need to make a movement after hitting the ball to confuse your opponent.
