Hi Nishant,

To generate any spin you need to brush the ball on the contact. To get backspin, you need to brush under the ball.  To get sidespin you need to brush the side of the ball or across the back of the ball.  

For our Premium members we have a lesson on Learning To Spin that will help you.
