Answer for reverse-sidespin-backspin-service

Hey Alex, we’re really pleased hear you are finding the videos are helping and you are enjoying the site!

The reverse is definitely the hardest serve to oearn for almost all players when developing it,and especially so generating side/backspin with the reverse is particularly difficult to master, so you are certainly not alone in finding this hard and its a very technical serve.

I had a look at the pictures you sent and your grip looks correct, just make sure to squeeze the rubber with your first finger and thumb when serving. I know what you mean with the wrist getting in the way, try to get the bat and grip in a position where tou can avoid this. Also improving wrist flexibility will help with some slight Stretching or exercises.

Be really interesting to see a video of you doing the serve if possible and I could give you some feedback. The table looks great and is a good solution until the robot comes as you said. Cheers, Tom
