Producing more spin is important for several reasons…
1. More spin will give you more ball control when pushing allowing you to keep your pushes shorter and sharper.
2. More spin will allow you to hit stronger loops even from a lower position.
3. More spin will allow you to hit more consistent smashes against a variety of lobbing types.
4. More spin will allow you to widen the court with angled curving serves, pushes, lobs, and loops.
5. More spin will allow you to more easily trick your opponent with varying the type and amount of spin.

Learn the keys to making or breaking your next tournament
There are several keys that you must remember when playing deuce games.
#1 The first key to remember is… what you did right. You have won 10 points during the game and you must have a clear memory as to which serves won the point outright and which serves setup your game best.
