Backhand serve

Hi PingSkills,

 

I am a backhand server. I have been practising the forehand pendulum serve, but at the moment, can't get it right. So for games, I tend to stick with the backhand serve. Could you tell me how I could add some subtle variation to the serve? At the moment, it is just a short, tight backspin serve. In the first end, I win a lot of points from it because it is quite heavy spin, but after that, it simply seems to be a rally starter. I have a no spin serve that looks similar to the backspin serve, but other than that, there is no way to change the spin without it being totally obvious what is on it. Obviously that is the advantage of having a pendulum serve, the variations in spin are easier to disguise, but is there anything I can do to get some more disguised variations on a backhand serve?

 

Thanks very much
