Hi Indip,

You sill need to drop the tip of the bat towards the ground to get the sidespin on the ball.  Just experiment with it.  You may need to alter your elbow position slightly by pushing it backwards to get the right angle on the bat.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
