How to produce sidespin while doing the backhand topspin stroke like the sidespin forehand topspin?
Thanks

Hi Khang,
To do this you need to follow the same principles as with the forehand. Drop or raise the end of your bat to get different sidespins. If you drop the end of your bat the ball will curve to the right. It is a lot about experimenting. Remember though this should not be your standard shot, but rather it should be a variation.
