hi,

If i am trying to do the ghost serve i always got sidespin. My question is how to get the backspin, thanks.

Hi Duy,

Make sure the end of your bat is a little higher.  If you drop the end of your bat you will contact the ball more on its side and therefore generate sidespin.  If you lift the end of your bat, you will contact the ball more on the bottom and get pure backspin.

If you can get the bat flat then it has to be backspin.  Often what happens is that as you come to the contact point players drop the end of the racket lower without feeling it.
