When your opponent serve, looking at the ball or looking at the paddle can make you read spin better?

Hi Khang,

You should watch the ball.  This gives you the best chance.  While you are watching the ball you will also see the bat and the contact.  You will also get other information from the flight of the ball and be quicker to react to the ball coming at you.
