Hi Din,
To be able to get spin on the ball you need to be able to brush the ball. This is just touching the ball on the contact rather than hitting it flat. You can think of it as turning a big wheel with your bat. Once you can get the contact then you can start to think of making the contact faster so that the wheel spins around faster.
We have a Course and DVD on Serving Secrets which will show you things in detail.

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.
