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.

If you haven't purchased a copy as yet, get our Serving Secrets Revealed DVD for lots more tips on serving.

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.

For the short one you need to brush the ball finer.  The finer the contact the less distance the ball will go.
