Hi Ivan,
I find that a lot of players find this a difficult concept to master.
The action depends on which type of serve you are doing. For the Backhand and Pendulum serves, you can hit the ball a little later in your swing to generate the topspin. In these cases, the bat is on the up later in the swing.
For the Tomahawk serve you hit the ball earlier in the swing as the bat is going upwards in that phase.
We have explanations and demonstrations on all of the serves in our Serving Secrets section.
