I seems to have lots of spin in my serve, but i just can't make it short like Ma Lin. My serve is always middle or long. how to make it shorter?

Hi,

The key to getting the serve short is to brush the ball finer.  The finer you brush the ball the shorter it will go.  Make sure that you keep the speed through the contact though so you are still getting plenty of spin.
