Hi Adrian,
The key to getting backspin on the ball is to brush under the ball or down the back of the ball. This will start to get the ball rotating backwards. If you imagine the ball is a big wheel and you are trying to get the wheel to rotate backwards by brushing it with your bat. This will give you the feeling of the action you need.
You can also take a look at our DVD Serving Secrets Revealed which you can purchase through our website. It will show you all about getting backspin on your serves in great detail.
