Spin on WTA Women's strokes

Good question--we just haven't measured enough to say. Raonic? Baghdatis? But when we did the first filming in 1997 on spin we saw some players on the men's side with numbers like the women.

So the interesting next question to address in the relationship or the combinations between speed and spin...

Well, it would be my contention that there is more or less an inverse relationship between speed and spin. And so if the speed of the guys shots are equal to, or greater than (as i suspect), but with double the spin rate, the shots are alot heavier, and allow for a widening of the court.

Yes this is the truth.

There is no debate here--men hit the ball with way more spin. All you need to do is watch them play live.
