Hi Sido,

To ge the ball fast with sidespin you need to brush the ball very fast.  Since you are looking at getting the ball to travel fast, you need to contact the ball a little flatter.  This will increase the speed on the ball.

Speed and spin are a trade off with the contact you make.  the finer the contact the more spin and less speed.  The flatter the contact the more speed and less spin you get.
