Hi Alois
What spin I should generate by using the backhand sidespin flick: straight sidespin or sidespin with some topspin.

Hi Nasko,
You need to get some topspin on the ball as well. This will help the ball to dip onto the table which is important when the ball is travelling fast and needs to dip quickly over a short distance.
Take a look at the lesson on the Backhand Sidespin Flick.
