Hi Nick,
The key is to be able to brush the ball fast while making the contact really fine. The flatter the contact the further the ball will go. The thinner the contact the shorter it will go.
So then you need to find the balance to get the ball to spin a lot and get it short by getting good fast brushing on the ball.
Also focus on getting the ball to bounce close to you on your side of the table. This will assist getting the bounce on the other side of the net to be close to the net.

Thanks, Coach!
For some reason (maybe I misread an article somewhere), I was trying to land soft backspin shots close to the my side of the net, so that it would land closer on the opponent's side... this is obviously wrong.
I've taken your advice with me to practice, and I'm getting better at keep my serves short! Thanks again
