How to generate a backspin
Serving
Matthew Ventigan Asked 11 years ago
Hello Jeff and Alois,
Hello there pingskills, can you teach me on how to generate a backspin? This may sound complicated but I really don't know how. I always generate a spin that curves to the left or right. Now I know why I can't do the Ma Lin serve. Please help me. Thank you for your consideration.
Cheers,
Matthew
PS. This is very important to me XD

HI Matthew,
The most common reason for this is that when you are making contact with the ball the end of your bat is dropping lower. Try to keep it up level so that you are coming straight under the ball.
Do this away from the table first to see if you can get the ball to come straight back to you.

High Toss Serve
The high toss serve looks spectacular and it gets results. It is particularly suited to the pendulum serve but we encourage you to try it out with all of your serves. Follow these instructions and add the high toss serve to your repertoire.

Hey Alois, when doing the backspin serve should I play the serve behind the table or over the the table? Please answer
Sorry if I'm asking too many questions on the backspin serve, but it's one of my opponents only weaknesses, so I need to know how to properly do it. So please answer if I should play my serve behind or over the table? I usually play it behind the table, is that OK?
You have to serve it from behind the table for it to be legal. If you hit it from over the table it is the other players point.
