Wii Sports: Tennis. Crazy Ball Spin

[Tu Kewl]

Has anyone ever noticed that when playing, every once in a while when the computer returns the ball that once it bounces it all of a sudden takes this wicked directional turn? I have been crossed up on it a few times and I have been trying to do the same thing when I return the ball, but I don't know the movement to make.

I have tried twisting my wrist foreward and backward when I return the ball. I have tried swinging from the top, tried a lob, and I have done it a couple of times, but I can't get a consistent crazy bounce.

Anyone know what the movement is?

I'm trying to figure that out too. Can you put spin on your serve?

Well... when you serve the ball, I know you can spike it by timing it right. You have to hit it on the way up into the air and sort of slice it. it is DAMN hard.

When hitting the ball from the right of the court to the left spin your remote 90 degrees anti-clockwise it'll put a spin on it. Same the other way maybe not as much as computer

When Serving hit the ball when it reaches it's peak it'll make it a fast ball

Thats all I know about this one..

i know you can lob or slice the ball by tilting the wiimote certain ways (tilt inward=slice, outward=lob)

This is what I do know.

When returning a ball, if you rotate your wrist forward when you make contact with the ball it will give you topspin which is like a quick arcing shot. If you rotate your wrist backward when making contact with the ball you will give it a very flat flight that barely gets over the net.

Those I have no problems with. What I do have a problem with is after the ball bounces it shoots off to the left and/or right and totally crosses me up. Meaning, it will look like a forehand return, but the moment it bounces, I need a backhand to return it, which I'm not ready for. Then I get pissed off.

A lob you have to make an upward swing motion. If tried different combos of these returns and I don't get the crazy bounce.
I can't put any spin on my serve either, but the power serve has been talked numerous times on this forum and is easy to do.

I think its a computer glitch. It seems to do that because of where your player is in relation to the ball and the computer tries to compensate for it.

ya, i figured it out some time back.

it requires good timing. as the ball returns to you, hold the remote so that the A-button faces the direction your swingin from. then, as you swing, quickly twist the remote 180 degrees in the direction your swingin. this creates a sharp curve shot in the direction you swung at

you can also point the a button inwards and twist it outwards to curve the ball the opposite direction.

You have to be careful, though. the ball has a tendency to sail, and if your at a higher level, the computer will let it sail out of bounds.
