Hi Akshat,

You can generate backspin with any type of grip.  The most important thing is the angle of your racket and the contact of the bat on the ball.

You need to have your bat angled backwards or facing the roof.  Then brush through the ball near the base to generate backspin.  We show you this in detail in our Serving Secrets lessons.

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.
