I found very little information on this topic. There are lots of videos for all the strokes and spin types but very few on service return and reading the serve spin. Please give me some tips on how to return difficult serves (back+side spin, top+ side spin etc) and how to read the spin correctly.

 If you can make some videos on this topic I would most definitely buy them. :)

Hi Catalin,

This Video is coming out next.  We are starting work on it now.

Some basic principles to think about are not trying to do too much with the ball.  Watch to see where th ball goes when you return it.  Then use your bat as a rudder to steer the ball back.

Keep your hand relaxed when returning, this wil soften the effect of the spin as well.

Stay tuned for more.
