Hi Martin,
Try getting the bat under the ball. Lay the bat back before you contact the ball. Think about brushing the bottom of the ball to get the backspin.
To get more spin yo then need to brush the ball really fast. I often describe it as attacking the serve.

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.
