Hi Alois,

What other sidespin strokes are there besides the sidespin push, and the sidespin flick?

Hi Matias,

You can put sidespin on almost any stroke.  You just need to contact the side of the ball more than the back of the ball to generate the sidespin.

Remember though that you will lose accuracy if you do that.  It is not something that I would recommend that you do a lot.
