Hi Janz,

To get more backspin you need to brush the ball right at the bottom with a fine contact to get the ball spinning around.

We have a good explanation on this in our Serving Secrets lessons.

To get a good explanation of Kentas serve try typing in 'Kenta' to the search box at the top of the Ask the Coach page.  You will see quite a bit of discussion on this topic.  It is a very popular serve.
