Generating spin on the backhand serve

Hi Siddhartha,

Firstly you need a good bat with grippy rubbers.

The combination of a fast swing and a brushing action is what generates spin. For your backhand serve you need to turn your shoulders to make room for your swing. Then bring your bat across the ball to generate the sidespin.
