Return changing heavy spin

My opponent uses heavy side spin left or right. I can't see the spin in time to correct my paddle angle.
I try to return it back hard...
any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dennis Capewell

Hi Dennis,
It is a matter of watching and learning as much as you can each time it happens. Then you need to alter the angle of your racket appropriately. This is a bit of trial and error because the spin can change subtly.
