Sidespin or Topspin
Strokes

Is sidespin better than topspin ?
Alois Rosario Answered 9 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.

No Spin Loop
The no spin loop is a good variation that can be effective even at the highest level. Watch as we show you how to get this stroke right.

Speaking of sidespin in a rally,how can I tell the best moment to include sidepsin in a loop-to-loop rally?
Usually when you want to get the player out really wide or if you are forced out wide you can use sidespin.

For serving sidespin better than backspin? which ones pro players mostly prefer?

Alois said that it is better than topspin,not backspin.
In general,adding a sidespin to both topspin and backspin can make both serves more deceptive.

Most pro players incorporate sidespin in most of their serves in some amount.
I think that a sidespin-backspin serve is one of the most used serves.
Hi Fesih,
Backspin is the first option and then incorporate some sidespin with it for variation.
