Hi Alois,

Is flicking the ball is the only way to return heavy short sidespin serve ?

Are there another way to return that kind of serve ?

Hi Ernest,

On a sidespin ball you have lots of options.  You can also push the ball back short and low or fast and long.  Try out all of the options against each opponent and see which one they like and don’t like.
