Hi Aaron,
The basic principles of getting a good serve is to generate lots of spin, then work on your placement.
To generate more spin you really need to get a fine contcat on the ball and then get th econtact really fast to get the ball spinning around fast. When you can do it it's a great feeling. You can start to make your opponent miss the table with their returns which can be really good fun.
This is covered comprehensively in our Serving Secrets Revealed DVD. The DVD also shows you several types of serve sthat you will find easy to follow.
