Hi Sido,
To ge the ball fast with sidespin you need to brush the ball very fast. Since you are looking at getting the ball to travel fast, you need to contact the ball a little flatter. This will increase the speed on the ball.
Speed and spin are a trade off with the contact you make. the finer the contact the more spin and less speed. The flatter the contact the more speed and less spin you get.
