I believe the answer is:

returned

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'put spin on again when one hit it back' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'put spin on again when one hit' is the wordplay.
'put' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'spin' becomes 'turn' (I've seen this in other clues).
'on again when one hit' becomes 'reed' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'turn' inserted within 'reed' is 'RETURNED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for returned that I've seen before include "Sent back" , "Went, came or gave back" , "Came back - voted in" , "dishonoured by the bank" , "Honoured by the electorate" .)
