Hi Adrian,

This is a common problem.  The faster you move your wrist the further the ball will go... But the finer you contact the ball the shorter it will go.  So to get the ball to spin a lot and go short you need to move your wrist fast but it is also really important that you hit it really fine.  If you can do these two things you will get a good short spin serve.

I am not sure what you mean by off-spin.

Hi Jeff,

Could you provide more details and tips on short serves in order to have ball hit bat placed (one and a half bat) other side of net, as I find it difficult to get the ball hit bat given a large margin of error.
