spins, how they are obtained and
what they do.
The hook spin makes the ball
turn as it flies from right to left,
and at a point in its flight which
may be fairly well predetermined
by the player, the ball breaks
sharply to the left. A slice spin
makes the ball whirl from left to
right, and makes the ball breNk to
the right. Underspin is the most
valuable, perhaps of all the spins
which may be impaired to the ball.
While there are places where
books and slices are very definitely
wanted, these plays do not occur
with such frequency as the long,
straight drive that you want un-
derspin. Underspin makes the
ball turn from the bottom upward
as 1t flies and gives the ball
"wings," so to speak. Underspin
enables the ball to stay longer in
the air because the spin exerts a
constantly elevating influence upon
the ball.
