Andrew Malone Asked 11 years ago
Hi, Im a 10 year old table tennis enthusiast and i've been wondering how to add some sidespin to my topspin shot, I've tried pushing to paddle sideways while i topspin, but it never works!!
Anyway, thanks, Andrew

Hi Andrew,
Take a look at this lesson on the Sidespin Forehand Topspin in our Strokes & Technique section.
However, it is really important that you get the straight topspin correct first before trying to master the sidespin topspin.

There are 3 basic areas to focus on when learning a stroke: 1) The position of your feet. 2) The starting position of your bat. 3) The finishing position of your bat. Of all these 3 elements the finish position is the most critical. Watch this video to find out why.
