Hi Mihir,

You can think about it as brushing something off the ball without hitting the ball, or brushing an insect off an egg without breaking the egg.

Variation of Speed

Varying the speed is different from varying the length. You can have a fast short serve and a slow short serve. You can also have a fast long serve and a slow long serve.

Hi Mihir,

You also need to ensure that your rubber still has enough grip to generate the spin. You can test it by rubbing your finger over the rubber. If it grips your finger, it will also grip the ball. If you rubber doesn't have enough grip you'll need to replace it before you can generate more spin.
