Hi Franz-Ludwig,
Serving is something that you can develop over time. The first thing is to try and spin the ball as much as possible. To spin the ball you need to brush it and then brush it fast. Once you can do that, try to get the ball to where you want it on the table.
We have a section dedicated to serving in our Premium lessons. Take a look at what is available in our Serving Secrets section.
