Hi Paul,

To make the short serve you need to get the first bounce close to you on your side.  The main focus though needs to be on where the ball lands on the other side of the table. This will take a lot of training to master.  Set up some targets on the other side of the table to help you with your focus.

It is easiest to get a backspin serve short because the ball will stop on when it hits the other side.  The topspin serves will want to bounce on and long.
