HI Abdo,

To get topspin you need to come upwards on the ball.  In the pendulum swing, the bat is going up at the last part of the swing.  That is when you need to make contact with the ball to get the topspin.  Give it a try.  We also have a lot more information and demonstrations in our lessons on Serving Secrets.

I think the topspin serve is the one that gives players the most difficulty to get the action right.  It is worth persevering with it because you can get good effect with it.

Hit it later in the swing at the back of the ball with a brushing up action.
