Is sidespin better than topspin ?

Alois Rosario Answered 8 years ago

Hi Nikhil,

For serving in general sidespin is better than topspin, however for your shots in the rally I think topspin is better because it allows you to hit the ball faster.

← Weak backhand Attacking very strong backspin →

Usually when you want to get the player out really wide or if you are forced out wide you can use sidespin.
