Hi Utkarsh,

The ball will go slower hen you add spin because you are hitting the ball finer.  That is a good next step.  The next thing is to get the swing faster so that the ball start to move even faster and this will also add more spin.

If you want to add more speed you can hit the ball a little flatter but then there will be less spin.  It is a bit of a trade off between the two at first but as you get better you will be able to achieve both together.
