Backspin Serve
Serving
Yacine Chafra Asked 13 years ago
Dear Pingskills,
I have been practicing a short backspin serve for a while. I am able to keep it low and short, but I can't get much spin on the ball.
Could you tell me how to apply more backspin on my serve?
Thanks

Hi Yacine,
Try getting a finer contact on the ball. Still hit the ball directly into your own side of the table. The brushing contact will generate the spin.
