How to get effective backspin

Serving

Hello,

When I do some short backspin serves I failing because a) the angle is not enough to generate backspin, or b) when I do not have enough momentum to carry the ball over the net (the backspin stops the ball completely).

How should I do this?

thanks, John

Hi John,

You can adjust the angle of your racket and push the ball more forward to get it on the table.  It is great that you are generating good backspin.

The Float Serve

The float or no spin serve is an effective tool to have in your bag of serves. It adds good variation to your serves and can often set you up with an easy 3rd ball opportunity.
