Jean Kim Asked 12 years ago

Can I know how to do a side spin properly?

Alois Rosario Answered 12 years ago

Hi Jean,

To get sidespin on the ball you need to brush the ball so it rotates on its vertical axis. This means that you will need to brush it on the side or across the back of the ball.

We show you this in our lesson on the Learning To Spin in our Serving Secrets section.
