Part 3. Swing Techniques Supporting the Basic Tactics

3.2. Drive Return against Sidespin (Curve Spin)

On this page explains the swing against the Curve that was mentioned in the section 2.2.1 "Make a Drive Return against the Curve".
According to the law of return by Drive against Sidespin, when you added a Shoot⋅Drive(LT) to the Curve (R) from the opponent, the spin would change to Drive(T). And the spin given by your racket had to be the same for both the backswing and foreswing.
Once again confirm. If you are possible to add the spin indicated by the vector diagram, it is OK in any swing. Following techniques are one example.
