Spin and rubber correlation

Ernest Wahyu Asked 10 years ago

Hi Alois,

1. You said that long pimple rubber will reverse the spin. So if i give a lot of topspin the ball will be back with more backspin ?

2. If someone use inverted rubber to chopping, how much the amount of the backspin will be returned if I do a lot of topspin ? will it be lesser or more ?

Thanks

Hi Ernest,

With inverted rubber, they can control the amount of spin because of the friction on the rubber. So they can give you back a lot or a little spin, depending on the angle of contact of their bat and the amount they brush the ball.
