How do you do the Sidespin serve, with topspin and lot of sidespin

Hi Alvin,

To generate spin you need a fast brushing action.  To get sidespin you need to get the brushing contact on the side of the ball or across the back of the ball.

To get topspin you need to get the contact brushing upwards.  So for sidespin topspin, you will need to get the contact coming up but on the side slightly as well.  We cover these serves in our Serving Secrets lessons.
