When attacking with my forehand I have difficulty against players who defend using a fast forehand side spin loop.

Hi Robert,

The sidespin can be hard to deal with.  Try to counter the sidespin by using the angle of your bat.  Or you can try to sidespin it back like in the lesson on the Sidespin Forehand Topspin.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
