Hi Viktor,

to make a really spiny topspin, you need to brush the ball really finely.  If you get it right the ball will go quite slowly but have a lot of spin on it.

We do have a lesson on how to do this stroke in our Master Classes, Slow Spinny Topspin.

So the same applies with the sidespin topspin.  You need to do the stroke as we show you in our lesson on the Sidespin Forehand Topspin and then focus on getting a very fine contact on the ball.

When you are using your wrist in these strokes, just keep the wrist relaxed and let it come through with the stroke.
