Strokes
Hi Alois,
Just wanna clarify sth on sidespin.
Is sidespin Go to the number 3) point with the topic sidespin
OR
2) We brush across the 9' o clock to 3'o clock surface of the ball, meaning like a forehand pendulum serve?
Hi JinMeng,
Sidespin is anything that makes the ball spin sideways. You can do this by brushing across the back of the ball or the side of the ball.
The backhand block is used to counter a topspin stroke. Once you can return your opponents attacking strokes, you will take your game to a new level.

IS point number 3, where the ball is brushed at the bottom counted as sidespin?
Hi JinMeng,
As Alois said the only thing you need to really know is that if you get the ball spinning sideways, then it has sidespin. You can do this by brushing the side of the ball (which I think you are referring to as 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock. You can also brush across the back of the ball as this will also get the ball spinning sideways.
