Hi Kartikeyan,

To generate good backspin you need to brush under the ball with a fine contact.  This brushing action gets the ball spinning around.  Think of the ball as a big wheel that you are trying to get turning around by using your bat.

We do have a lesson on this topic in our Learning To Spin lesson in the Serving Secrets section.

The exact same serve placed to a different spot on the table can be much more difficult for your opponent to return.
