I have watched many perform the backhand sidespin serve. I want to know how to do the backhand sidespin serve.

Hi Sabarno,

The things to focus on are the start and finish positions of your racket.  Try starting with it at your left shoulder and then swinging it across your body fast while getting a brush contact.  The contact need to be across the ball to get the ball spinning sideways.

We cover this in our Serving Secrets section in the lesson on the Backhand Serve.
