Hi Vivek,

To get more backspin, try getting the angle of your bat even flatter.  You can even face it a little to the back wall. This may feel and sounds strange, but give it a try.

The best way to start to get the backspin, is to step away from the table and see if you can get the ball to spin back towards you on the floor.  Have a good swing at the ball to generate more backspin.

The Kicker Serve

The kicker serve is one of our "must learn" serves. It's fast, fun, and has lots of topspin. It can be dangerous because if it's not fast enough and if you don't surprise your opponent then they may be able to attack it forcefully putting you on the defensive straight away. Used well though, and sparingly, it can be a great weapon. It can win you a point outright and it will stop your opponent from standing over the table waiting for your short serves since they need to be ready for anything.
