Hi Alex,
The easy answer is that you just need to do it more and practice it more.
You will find that the ghost serve is not necessarily that effective in a match because it may travel too slowly. It is just a serve with a lot of backspin that moves slowly enough so that the forward momentum is overcome by the spin on the ball.

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.
