What is more effective a backspin or a sidespin

Hi Kareem,
It depends on which stroke you are talking about and in which situation. They can both be very effective in different situations.

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.

what about out of the backspin reverse pendulem serve against Ma Lin or the sidespin reverse pendulem serve against Ma Lin?
I think the backspin is more effective as it is more difficult for the opponent to attack. However i twill depend on the opponent you are playing at the time. Each opponent has strengths and weaknesses. You will have to see which serve that opponent doesn't like. Try them both against the opponent early in the match.
