Hi I am Abishek, I have a match with a guy and he is not a good player of spin.

How can I do a fast backhand serve with spin?

Hope you can help me.

Hi Abishek,

To get a lot of spin you need to follow the principles of fast brushing.  For the backhand, start with your bat up near your left shoulder and then swing across the ball as fast as you can and still get a brushing contact.  If you can do that you will produce a good backhand spin serve.

If you haven't purchased a copy as yet, get our Serving Secrets Revealed DVD for lots more tips on serving.

The Float Serve

The float or no spin serve is an effective tool to have in your bag of serves. It adds good variation to your serves and can often set you up with an easy 3rd ball opportunity.

For the short one you need to brush the ball finer.  The finer the contact the less distance the ball will go.
