Hey Kevin,
Yes it’s tricky to read spin and also the amount of spin as you mentioned. Depending on the spin you will always need to hit the ball slightly differently but it’s just small adjustments not big changes really. I would say if you really aren’t sure on the spin on the serves try to brush the ball well and focus on placement. This will help you make less mistakes by slowing down and it will improve with time if you work on this area of returning serves and reading the spin! 🙂
