Hi Kartikeyan,

To generate good backspin you need to brush under the ball with a fine contact.  This brushing action gets the ball spinning around.  Think of the ball as a big wheel that you are trying to get turning around by using your bat.

We do have a lesson on this topic in our Learning To Spin lesson in the Serving Secrets section.

The Float Serve

The float or no spin serve is an effective tool to have in your bag of serves. It adds good variation to your serves and can often set you up with an easy 3rd ball opportunity.
