How can i get enough backspin to do the ma lin serve?

Hi Trey,
It is a matter of brushing under the ball and also not giving the ball too much forward momentum so that it quickly comes back towards you.
Take a look at our previous Ask the Coach video response to How to Execute the Ma Lin Serve.

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.

i iv tried a lot for the ma lin serve .!!
PLZ TIP what should i do or train to control my fw momentum...
Hi Harsh,
Try to get the fine contact away from the table on the floor to make sure you are getting the right contact on the ball. Then you can go onto the table and try the same.
