Question please, please- im a beginner- can you explain in clear instructions how to do a topspin/sidespin & backspin/sidespin serve. I've searched everywhere but none have clear enough instructions. Please. Thanks,
Tobi
Answer Tobi,
My expertise is rules, not instructions. Besides, you need this shown, not explained, to you. Find a pro or someone who plays the game well and get some lessons. Even if you can afford only a lesson or two, it will be money well spent.
Also, type "serve," topspin," and "instruction" in an internet search.
Good luck.
