Sidespin forehand flick

Hi,is there something such as a sidespin forehand flick?and if there is ,can penholders do it?

Hi Mohammed,
There is such a thing. It is actually easier for penholders than shakehanders. I have recently seen Xu Xin do one.
He started with the bat in almost a forehand push position and then went around the outside of the ball. As he is left handed he goes around the left hand side of the ball to make the sidespin flick. For right handers they would go around the right hand side of the ball or swipe from left to right.

I guess it'd be more plausible to pull off for a shakehander if you temporarily modified your grip as for serving?
Yes you would probably need to change your grip. Would be really difficult with the standard shakehand grip.
