Hi sir
I am very glad to ask you is how should I counter on a slow spin serve which has side spin on it. Please make a video on it.
Thanks

Hi Divyam,
To counter this you need to angle your racket away from the direction it wants to spin. If it wants to spin to the right then angle your racket to the left.
THis is covered in our lessons on Receiving Secrets.
