Backspin Serve

Serving

Yacine Chafra Asked 14 years ago

Dear Pingskills,

I have been practicing a short backspin serve for a while. I am able to keep it low and short, but I can't get much spin on the ball.

Could you tell me how to apply more backspin on my serve?

Thanks

Hi Yacine,

Try getting a finer contact on the ball. Still hit the ball directly into your own side of the table. The brushing contact will generate the spin.
