The term "overspin" is usually used in reference to excessive underspin, although technically it could also refer to "topspin", but in practice it rarely does. Depending on surface and atmospheric conditions (i.e the wind), the chop and the cut (imparting spin horizontally under the ball rather than imparting spin vertically downwards as in the slice) can make the ball skid, bounce low or stop.  1, record 1, English, - excessive%20underspin

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Amortir l'impact en cassant légèrement le poignet en arrière et en ouvrant un peu le tamis.
