Hi Mihir,

You can only ever spin the ball one way with an serve. If the ball hits your bat in a certain way there can only be one outcome.

However what you can do is add some actions into your serve that will make it more difficult for your opponent to tell which way the ball is going to spin. You can move your elbow or arm in different directions while still maintaining a good spin contact with the ball.
