Effect of pure sidespin against long pimples
Strokes
bertus bertus Asked 12 years ago
Hi Coaches!
I played a long pimple player and I tryed to figure out what the effect is of a pure sidespin serve when returned (push motion) by long pimples?
Is there in that case any need to lift the ball a little bit? Or can I hit the ball flat on like it's a topspin ball?
Thx!

Hi Bertus,
You can hit straight through this ball. It will go back with sidespin and a bit of wobble.

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.

Thx Alois for the quick answer!
I did hit through the ball with a fairly open bat but the results were diffirent. I think that's due to my serve as it might had some under or topspin in it initialy. I'll stick to the basic no spin and backspin serves when playing pimples! :)
