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.

The no spin loop is a good variation that can be effective even at the highest level. Watch as we show you how to get this stroke right.

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! :)
