Hi Jeorme,

To generate any type of spin you need to brush the ball on contact.  For sidespin you are brushing the ball across the back or brushing it down its side to get the ball rotating on its vertical axis.

To get variations you can brush the ball at various points.  For a little bit of backspin tilt your bat back so that you can come under the ball as well.  For topspin as well brush over the ball or upon the back of the ball,

These are demonstrated in our lesson on Learning To Spin in our Serving Secrets Course.
