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.

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.
