Hi Chee,

To put sidespin on the ball you need to brush the ball so that it rotates on its vertical axis, or sideways.

You can brush the side of the ball or you can think about brushing across the back of the ball.  Both these actions will generate sidespin on the ball.  It is probably easiest with a pendulum serve.  Get the end of your bat pointing to the floor and then brush the side of the ball.
