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.

Variation of Spin

Varying the spin on your serve makes it harder to return. You can vary the type of spin but possibly even more effective is varying the amount of spin.
