How would I hit a reverse underhand sidespin serve?

By Jeff Cooper, About.com

Question: How would I hit a reverse underhand sidespin serve?
Answer: Use the same procedure (including the grip) as the underhand sidespin serve, but swing from left to right and stand with both feet facing the net. Your swing will look somewhat like a heavy sidespin backhand groundstroke, including hitting the ball with the "back" side of the strings.
