Hi Adrian,
To get backspin on the ball you need to brush either under the ball or down the back of the ball. If you imagine a big wheel and you are trying to get the wheel to turn backwards by brushing your bat down it you will get the feel for what you should be doing.
We have a DVD dedicated to serving. If you can, you should purchase our Serving Secrets Revealed DVD. This wil help you to understand the concept and also improve your serving which is a really important part of the game.

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.
