Hi Alvin,

To get backspin you go from above the ball to below so that you are brushing the ball downwards.

We have a lot of tips about how to spin the ball and different types of serves in our Serving Secrets course that you can access if you are a Premium member.  This course shows you how to get spin on the ball as well as how to do the different types of serves with all sorts of different spins.
