Backhand fast serving
Serving
Abishek Krishnan Asked 14 years ago
Hi I am Abishek, I have a match with a guy and he is not a good player of spin.
How can I do a fast backhand serve with spin?
Hope you can help me.

Hi Abishek,
To get a lot of spin you need to follow the principles of fast brushing. For the backhand, start with your bat up near your left shoulder and then swing across the ball as fast as you can and still get a brushing contact. If you can do that you will produce a good backhand spin serve.

I have problems doing it short---
For the short one you need to brush the ball finer. The finer the contact the less distance the ball will go.
