Hi Vineeth,

Returning spin is probably the hardest part of the game to grasp initially.  One of the biggest factors is experience in receiving serves like this.  First though you need to understand the basics of spin.  We cover these in our Receiving Secrets lessons which are availiable for Premium Members.  If you do not want to join as a Premium Member you can purchase the Receiving Secrets DVD through our website Store for a limited time till they are sold out.
