There are basically four types of spins in racket sports.
These can be grouped into two major sub types

First major type is straight spins
1. Top spin
2. Back spin
3. No spin

The second major sub type is side spin.
Because there are two types of side spins in terms direction the ball moves , either towards the left or right of the receiver/
But this is more complicated by the fact that either of the above can be about two axes (on a horizontal plane or a vertical plane)
However what make all this even more complex is that there is no such thing as just pure side spin.
Side spin is always combined with either top spin or back spin.

Most professional players can solve incoming side spins almost instinctively but most amateur players struggle.
But the problem for most amateurs is that the ability to solve incoming sides pins (as well how to generate sides spins) is one of the most neglected part of training and coaching.

BTW , about 50% of to prosm they can solve incoming side spins instinctively & easily have not trained to generate side spins themselves.
This is a major opportunity lost.

Side spin + back spin breaking in either direction is hardly learned by most defnsive players.
This is not harder to train away from the table but is harder over the table

Most players even most pros do not pay enough attention to training on side spin + top spin either
One should bve able to execute all four loops
Fade loops & hook loops from both forehand & backhand sides

Most amateur players do not even know what a loop really is.
Most amateur competitive players "think" they are training to loop when they are mostly spending their training time just counter-driving ........they are not even training counter-looping with stright top spin to straigh top spin counterlooping..........let alone train actual side looping & counter-side looping.

But in all fairness, most of the playing facilities may have poor court designs with tables sitting too close to each other , preventing such training.
Proper court design, even at the lowest of lowest basement ping pong level, would be to have indivisually barriered courts , especially from a safety perspective more than traing for extreme lateral side loops and counter side loops.
