Dear Coaches,

What is a thin fine contact and how do you do it?

Are there any other tricks to apply more spin to a ball? 

Thanks

Hi Yacine,

A thin or fine contact is where you just brush the ball.  If you think about the ball as being a big wheel, you are brushing the wheel and trying to get it to turn around.  We explain this in detail in our DVD Serving Secrets Revealed.  You can purchase it through our website.  It will give you a lot of information about serving.

For the text-book like topspin against a flat ball, when one start low, finishes high and contact the ball at 3 hours, is it fine or thick contact? Is it thicker than the powerloop, when one brushes over the top with horizontal swing?

It is a slightly flatter contact but you still need to make sure there is the brushing on the ball.
