Hi Mayo,

You need a lot of soidespin on the ball and the ball has to be wide enough to be able to make this stroke.

Take a look at our lesson on the Sidespin Forehand Topspin.  This is the stroke that you should use.  Of course the ball has to be in the right position to be able to do that.  It is a spectacular shot when it comes off.

I would not focus too much on this though.  It is better to work on the standard topspin first.
