Hi David,
That is something we haven't got to yet. The main thing is to use the wrist during the stroke. Drop your wrist to get the ball to curve left to right and lift your wrist to get the ball to curve right to left. Try to keep the rest of your stroke similar to a normal topspin.
We will try to make a video on this in the next few months.
