The importance of spin
Description:
Spin as a tactical subcomponent is defined in this video interview from USPTA Master Professional Jim Parker. He explains why it is important for players to understand spin as a necessary part of match tactics.
Tip:
As we all know, spin is a very important aspect of the game. Whether we refer to the underspin common years ago or today’s dominance of heavy topspin baseline rallies, spin is a factor that expands the tactical options.
Spin is used to change the pace and height of the ball during a point, which adds greater versatility to the shots. It is also the main way to control powerful shots. Different shots require different amounts and types of spins, but we could say that spin is basically the controller of the strokes.
This week’s tip features USPTA Master Professional Jim Parker explaining why spin is important and why players need to understand the use of it in their tactics.
