Hello

I have problems to generate backpsin sidespin on my pedulum serve, whats the angle for the racket to make backspin sidespin.

Hi Alvin,

To generate both spins you need to have your bat at a 45 degree angle. If you imagine the ball as a clockface, then you would hit the ball at around 4 or 5 to generate this spin.

We have a good visual explanation of this in our Serving Secrets course.
