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.

Slow to Fast Progression
It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.

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! :)
