Hi Alvin,

To generate both spins you need to have your bat at a 45 degree angle.  If you imagine the ball as a clockface, then you would hit the ball at around 4 or 5 to generate this spin.

We have a good visual explanation of this in our Serving Secrets course.

Variation of Speed

Varying the speed is different from varying the length. You can have a fast short serve and a slow short serve. You can also have a fast long serve and a slow long serve.
