Spin or ball rotation in table tennis is a very prominent feature in the game of table tennis. The balls used in table tennis are light in weight because they are made of celluloid which is very sensitive to the friction of the rubber on the bat.
What is meant by ball spin in a table tennis game is the speed at which the ball rotates or rotates. The ball spin in table tennis can be divided into three, namely forward, backward and sideways rotation.
The ball spins forward
The ball's forward spin usually occurs from the result of a topspin shot, which is swiping the ball on the bat that is swung upwards. This shot causes the ball to spin forward, the ball's speed is slower and it forms a parabolic trajectory (sharply curved). As soon as it hits the opponent's table, the ball will bounce quickly. If the opponent is less than perfect in returning it, then the direction of the ball will go up.
Roll the ball backwards
Rotating the ball backwards occurs from the results of backspin strokes, which is swiping the ball on the bat that is swung down. Backspin strokes make the ball go backwards and form a flat trajectory. After touching the opponent's table, the ball tends to bounce slowly. If the opponent is less than perfect in returning it, the ball will tend to dive and get caught in the net.
Roll the ball sideways
Sideways spin of the ball, either to the right or to the left, usually occurs as a result of sidespin hitting.

The keys to table tennis to get points or numbers are speed, placement, and spin. Continue to practice getting to know the ball spins so you can anticipate the spins that occur and be more confident in playing.
Healthy spirit and greetings 🏓
