Sidespin

Sidespin rotates to the side (either clockwise or counter-clockwise when looking at the ball from above). When your opponent tries to block your sidespin, the ball will fly to the side after hitting the racket.

You can see that a ball has heavy sidespin when you see it curve to the side as it is flying.
