Hi Argie,
Thanks for your comments. To hit a sidespin with a counterhit you can do it by angling your bat. If the sidespin is going to take the ball to the right, you can counterhit with your bat facing slightly to the left or vice versa.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
