Topspin sidespin return

Haseeb Ansar Asked 8 years ago

How to return a top and sidespin shot effectively my opponent hit this kind of shot on my sidespin under spin serve and also tell me to avoid such shot or some kind of serve to avoid such hit?

Hi Haseeb,

You can block that ball back.  You need to allow for the sidespin by angling your racket to allow for the sidespin.

We do talk about it in this Ask the Coach Show #33.
