Hi Abdul,

The sidespin can be effective but it is a more risky stroke.  To start with you are better to play a straight topspin stroke.  When you are comfortable with this then you can experiment with a sidespin topspin.

Take a look at our <a href="http://www.pingskills.com/lessons-sidespin-forehand-topspin.php"> Sidespin Forehand Topspin Lesson</a>.  This will explain how to do the stroke but also what you need to be wary of.
