Hey Pingskills,

I was playing with my school coach when my coach did a fast long sidespin serve. I completely failed in serving or returning such a serve.  Then it struck me, why not ask the world's best coaches.

It would be very grateful of you if you could make a video explaining that.

Love and Regards,

Hi Siddhant,

Actually we already have a video on this. Returning a long sidespin serve

You can also look at this one on Fast Serve Down the Line which may help.  To add side spin, brush across the back of the ball or the side of the ball as fast as you can.

Fake Movements

After the ball has left the server's bat, they can no longer affect the spin that is on the ball. Any movements after the contact are referred to as fake movements and are meant to confuse you as the receiver. You need to focus on the contact to read the spin.
