Forehand Sidespin
Strokes
Sam Quek Asked 14 years ago
Hi Pingskills,
I was watching your video on the Sidespin Forehand Topspin, it was really fascinating stroke. But I was really wondering can one generate PURE Sidespin by using his forehand? Does this stroke Forehand Sidespin exist and can it be used during a rally?
Also, I really want to know how can a chopper generate Sidespin while chopping.
Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sam

Hi Sam,
It is difficult to generate pure sidespin but you can certainly generate a lot of sidespin. It is often used in a match situation.
A chopper can also do this by brushing across the ball. Get your bat moving sideways as well as forwards and then follow the basic principles of chopping as in the lesson on the Backhand Chop.
