Answer for returning-side-spin-serves

Hi Adam, Yes I understand what you mean, you do need enough acceleration through the shot to control and overcome the incoming spin for sure. The problem we find when people try to do this to early is they end up hitting the ball very thick ad flat, so you really need the soft feeling and brushing contact on the ball first and then add some more acceleration and of course finishing your bat in the direction you want the ball to go. We just emphasis this element first as we believe this is key to long term improvement and players aren’t simply forcing the ball over without understanding the feel and control. After you master this you’ll find a more positive contact and finishing position will add to the shots. Hope that makes sense and clears things up 🙂
