Long fast serve with high backspin

The key is to get the ball to bounce close to you on your side of the table.  Hit the ball quite flat with a little bit of backspin.  The combination of speed and flatness will make it feel like a lot of backspin to your opponent.  It is difficult to generate a lot of backspin because the ball will tend to float off the end of the table with too much backspin and speed.
