Hi PingSkills

Is it possible to add extra topspin on the ball or add sidespin while doing topspin?

Hi Enoch,

The faster you brush the ball the more topspin you will get on it.

You still need to maintain the fine contact to get the spin.  To put sidespin on the ball you brush more on the side of the ball.  Take a look at our lesson on the Sidespin Forehand Topspin.  This will show you how to use your wrist to help you with the contact.
