What are the modifications to be made?

Hi Dhruv,
Yes you can do this. You need to tilt your bat further back to generated the backspin. ALso slow the forward momentum down so that the ball grips better to come back.

The Kicker Serve
The kicker serve is one of our "must learn" serves. It's fast, fun, and has lots of topspin. It can be dangerous because if it's not fast enough and if you don't surprise your opponent then they may be able to attack it forcefully putting you on the defensive straight away. Used well though, and sparingly, it can be a great weapon. It can win you a point outright and it will stop your opponent from standing over the table waiting for your short serves since they need to be ready for anything.

I tried that and placed the bat almost parallel to the table...but the thing is ball has too much height and can be smashed easily.....its very hard to get the right amount of contact consistently and m finding it very difficult to keep the height low!Can you put up a video demonstrating this please....ma lin's is a populr serve and I am sure many players would benefit from ths.Thanks.
It will take a bit of practice to get this contact right.
