Hi Sihmanuth,
To do this you need to put sidespin on the ball. To get sidespin, you need to brush the ball either on the side with a fine brushing contact or you can also try to brush across the back of the ball. This will also get the ball rotating sideways.
Once the ball hits their bat it will spin off sideways.
Give it a try and see if you can do it.
We also have a series of lessons on Serving Secrets which is available to our Premium members. This shows you lots of things about serving with spin.

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.
