Is holding the bat vertically or horizantally better for a backspin serve?

Thanks!

Hi Ryan,

It is better to have you bat more horizontal to be able to brush the bottom of the ball.  You can generate backspin with the bat more vertical but it is harder to get the brushing action.

Variation of Placement

The exact same serve placed to a different spot on the table can be much more difficult for your opponent to return.
