Hi Lee,

To get sidespin on your serve you need to brush across the ball from left to right or vice versa.

The best way to start is to go away from thetable and try to make the ball curve as much as possible on the floor.  This will teach you the action your need to get sidespin.

For backspin do the same except try to get the ball to come back to you on the floor.  For this you need to brush the ball at the base and get the ball spinning backwards.

Take a look at our Serving Secrets Revealed DVD.  In it we cover a whole range of serves and spins.
