Spiking with sidespin

Tmoney Tlarz09 Asked 12 years ago

When i play against my friends i always have a chance for an easy spike and they always return my topspin spikes so is it good to spike with side spin?

Hi Tmoney,

I think it is best to smash flat.  If you contact the ball flat you will get the best speed.

If you try to put sidepsin, you will have more chance of making a mistake.  When the ball is that high, then you have a very good chance of winning the point.  There is no need to take too many risks.

Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Smash.  This may also help.
