Hi Parth,

Take a look at our lesson on the Sidespin Forehand Topspin.  It is better though to be able to play with straight topspin as you can hit this ball faster and more consistency.  The sidespin can be used as a variation.

We have a whole section on serving in our Serving Secrets series.  This is available as part of our Premium package and is an important area for players to develop.
