Hi Hafiz,

We will get to the backhand topspin soon I hope.  But for now, the principles are the same as the other strokes.  Think about the start position.  It would be down around knee height, either in between your knees or slightly outside your left knee for a right hander.  The contact is a brushing action.  The finish position is at head height and on the right hand side of your body.  We will try to get a video on it soon.

I am not sure which serve you are referring to as the corkscrew serve.  Let us know and we will be able to give you more information on it.

It's why all the best players look like they are hitting the ball so hard without much effort.
