Hi Alois ,

I want to ask you about whether is it legal to serve twisting your body to the side and twist it back to the front to spin the ball much faster .

Hi Lewis,

Yes, you are allowed to twist your body to serve.  You have to make sure that your body doesn't get between the ball and the net though so that your opponent can always see the ball during the service action.
