Hi Tim,

The penhold grip is he same for the ghost serve.  All the ghost serve is, is a backspin serve without too much forward momentum so that it stops and comes back towards you.

Contact the ball right at the base of the ball and brush on contact.  This will generate the backspin.

Variation of Spin

Varying the spin on your serve makes it harder to return. You can vary the type of spin but possibly even more effective is varying the amount of spin.
