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 Topspin Variations

A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
