Speed, Spin and Control
General
Adam Unknown Asked 17 years ago
Many players have problems in having speed spin and control at the same time. There are some with speed but without control, some have spin without speed and control, control without speed and spin, spin w/ control but without spin, and a speed, control without spin. What can I do or what training should a player take to always have this 3 combination.

Hi Adam,
I think the first skill to develop is control. Once you have that you can increase your spin and speed. Trying to increase speed without control means you will develop incorrect techniques which will mean you will not be able to develop to your full potential of spin and speed.
All of the three will develop if you give them time.
