Hi Jeremy,
Ou need to watch the contact and the flight of the ball. These will give you clues. If they contact the ball flat then there will be no spin. If the contact is a brushing action under the ball then it will be backspin.
The flight is also a bit different. The spin serve will go slower through the air.

Judging the Length of a Serve
A really important skill in table tennis is to be able to judge if a serve will be short or long. If it's short you won't be able to take a full swing at the ball and hence will need to use either a push or a flick to return the ball. However, if it is coming long then you can make a topspin attack. In this video we give you some tips to help you judge the length of the serve and hopefully this makes you a better returner.
