I can't return hook and fade sidespin topspins effectively. Please tell me an effective way to return them.

Thanks.

Will the Sidespin Block be effective?

Hi Kaustubh,

It may be easiest to return it with another topspin.  Take a look at th lesson on the Sidespin Forehand Topspin and see how we do it.

You also can think about the angle of your racket altering to allow for the sidespin.
