Hi Alois,

Does it make any speed/spin difference for the opponent when we run and curve the ball vs stand and curve the ball?

Hi Soma,

I guess it depends on which way you are running.

When you are running sideways your momentum is going in that direction so it wouldn't add a lot of forward speed.  It may add spin because you bat is moving faster when you contact the ball.
