Hi Justin,

To do a sidespin topspin stroke you start with the basics for a backhand topspin.  Then you drop the end of your racket towards the floor to get it at an angle.  If you contact the ball like this you will generate sidespin.

I suggest you take a look at the Forehand Sidespin Topspin.

Apply the same principle to the backhand..
