If you have played tennis on Wii Sports you have probably wondered how do you hit a spinning ball in Wii Sports. If you have asked yourself how do you hit a spinning ball in Wii Sports, don't worry, answers are here. Before we answer the question how do you hit a spinning ball in Wii Sports you will need to gather the following items.

  • Wii Sports Game Disc
  • Nintendo Wii
  • Wii Controller

Once you have gathered all of these items it is time to reveal how do you hit a spinning ball in Wii Sports.

  1. Start Wii Tennis. The first step in learning how do you hit a spinning ball in Wii Sports is starting a game of Wii Tennis. To do this, put the Wii Sports game disc in the Wii, turn everything on, and select tennis from the main menu. Once the game has started it is time to start learning how do you hit a spinning ball in Wii Sports.
  2. Hit with topspin. One of the ways to hit a ball with spin in Wii Sports is learning how to put topspin on the ball. Putting topspin on the ball is fairly easy; it is simply a matter of timing. When the ball is coming toward your Wii character, get ready to swing. As you swing through the ball, rotate your wrist upon contact. You want your wrist to rotate forward so the buttons on the Wii controller end up facing the floor. This puts topspin on the ball, making it travel further and faster on the bounce and making it harder for your opponent to return your shot.
  3. Hit with backspin. The other way to hit a ball with spin in Wii Sports is using backspin. The setup for hitting backspin is similar to hitting with topspin. The difference is on the follow through of the swing. Instead of rotating your wrist forward on contact, rotate your wrist backward. You should end the swing with the buttons on the controller facing up in the air.

Experiment and see how hitting the ball with topspin and backspin affects your game!
