How to do a heavy spin serve which can turn both ways right and left?

Hi Somshekar,

A serve can only turn one way.  The ball can only be it once and one type of spin put on the ball.  Sometimes when you are facing a good serve it may feel like it is turning both ways but it isn't.

Hi Nikhil,

It is a matter of hitting the ball straight and brush up the back of the ball.
