Hi Dipanish,
This can be done by slightly adjusting your body position during your stroke. You could even move your head slightly in an opposite direction while you make the shot. Of course this is a bit of a party trick and you are better off playing a balanced stroke and playing it a bit faster or to a better position.

Sidespin Forehand Topspin
Curve the ball past your opponent with the sidespin forehand topspin. The sidespin not only causes the ball to curve but also makes it very difficult to return.

thanks alois but i still dont get what you mean
Hi Dipansh,
Are you talking about faking the motion or placing the ball in different directions.
dipansh jindal Posted 13 years ago
placing the ball.
(sorry for not answering i was taking a nap)
OK, sorry I misunderstood. To change the direction of the ball it can be as subtle as a slight change of wrist. It can also be done by hitting the ball a little earlier or later to get the ball down the line or cross court. Take a look at this previous Ask the Coach video response, How to hit the ball down the line.
