Hi Alois, 

That short backspin serves are simple and effective but is it good to serve long backspin serves, when I play with my friends I also serve some long backspin serves, or is it better to keep them short ?

Hi Matej,

In general when you play against better players it is important to serve short.  If they don't attack too strongly then a long backspin serve can also be effective.

It is a matter of trialling different serves to see what works against each player that you play.

As a defender you need to keep the ball low and deep, use variation of spin, speed, and placement, and attack occasionally.
