Can you possibly put sidespin and the same time in counter loops and backhand loops

Hi Martin,

You can put sidespin on the counterloop.  Just brush on the side of the ball a little while playing the same strokes as we show you in the lesson on the Topspin to Topspin.  Also take a look at the lesson on the Sidespin Forehand Topspin to give you some more hints.

Remember though that when you add sidespin the stroke becomes a little riskier.
