Part 2. Think Tactics acoording to Vectors
2.2. Make a Drive Return against the Sidespin
This swing showning in the first example is my special. It is the first swing tried to predict on desk the spin . It was able to return a ball with Drive exactly on the theory. Even now I can recall that I was impressed.
Against the Sidespin, there are two receiving ways of Curve and Shoot. Since their spin directions are opposite to each other, your swing should be prepared for both Curve and Shoot.
The swing is allowed by any swings if you are able to add these directed spin to the ball.
This examples are shown in Section.3.
This swing does not mean it can only be used for side spins. It is almost same even if the spin axis is tilted 45 degrees. It is not so much different against Cut services. Oji service is also no problem. You will be amazed by its versatility.
Oji Service: This is a serving technique of spin. They make the racket stand at middle of their body and throwing a ball high, rubbing the ball's left or right side just after landing on the table. Good service of Kenta Matsudaira of Japan.
2.2.1. Make a Drive Return against the Curve
Although the spin direciton from the opponent is the same, depending on the distribution, you will be receive it on the back side or the fore side, each of the rotation given it with your racket has to be the Shoot-Drive, which is the left rotation by rubbing the upper hemisphere of the ball's left side forward.
(A). Make a Drive Return against the Curve of backside
Let's look at the order of ball hitting.
① The opponent has made a service by Curve (R) to your racket backside.
② You add Shoot⋅Drive (LT) to the spin on the trajectory-1 entered your coat.
③ The ball will be returned as a Drive (T) on trajectory-2 to the opponent's coat.
Equation is as follows.
Drive = Curve + Shoot⋅Drive
When expressed in English initials,
T = R + (L+T)
as R = - L,
then T = T
Swing example. Refer to 3.1.1. Offense from Your Back Swing.
(B). Make a Drive Return against the Curve of foreside
① The opponent has made a service by Curve (R) to your racket foreside.
② You add Shoot⋅Drive (LT) to the spin on the trajectory-1 entered your coat.
③ The ball will be returned as a Drive (T) on trajectory-2 to the opponent's coat.
Equation is as follows.
Drive = Curve + Shoot⋅Drive
When expressed in English initials,
T = R + (L+T)
as R = - L,
then T = T
Swing example. Refer to 3.1.2. Offense from the Fore Swing.
2.2.2. Make a Drive Return against the Shoot
Although the spin direciton of the ball from the opponent is the same, depending on the distribution, you will be receive it on the back side or the fore side, each of the rotation given it with your racket has to be the Curve-Drive, which is the right rotation by rubbing the upper hemisphere of the ball's right side forward.
(A). Make a Drive Return against the Shoot of backside
Let's look at the order of ball hitting.
① The opponent has made a service by Shoot (L) to your racket backside.
② You add Curve⋅Drive (RT) to the spin on the trajectory-1 entered your coat.
③ The ball will be returned as a Drive (T) on the trajectory-2 to the opponent's coat.
Equation is as follows.
Drive = ΘShoot + Curve⋅Drive
When expressed in English initials,
T = L + (R+T)
as L = - R,
then T = T
Swing example. Refer to 3.2.1. Offense from Your Back Swing.
(B). Make a Drive Return against the Shoot of foreside
① The opponent has made a service by Shoot (L) to your racket foreside.
② You add Curve⋅Drive (RT) to the spin on the trajectory-1 entered your coat.
③ The ball will be returned as a Drive (T) on the trajectory-2 to the opponent's coat.
Equation is as follows.
Drive = ΘShoot + Curve⋅Drive
When expressed in English initials,
T = L + (R+T)
as L = - R,
then T = T
Swing example. Refer to 3.2.2. Offense from Your Fore Swing.
2.2.3. The Law of Drive Return against Sidespin
In the section 2.2.1 above, making a receive of ①Curve with ②Shoot⋅Drive, the Curve and the Shoot of the Shoot⋅Drive are canceled each other, leaving only ③Drive.
In the section 2.2.2 above, making a receive of ①Shoot with ②Curve⋅Drive, the Shoot and the Curve of the Curve⋅Drive are canceled each other, leaving only ③Drive.
Thus, the following rule holds.
<The Law of Drive Return against Sidespin>
To send back by Drive against Sidespin coming from the opponent, rub the spinning counter-shoulder-side frontward.
