I try to do spin serves but they don’t have much spin I try different rackets but it’s the same.

Hi Darien,
Focus on getting the contact right first.
Start away from the table and see if you can get the ball to curve. Then as you start to feel you are getting the ball to curve step up to the table and try to get the same contact.
We cover this and further steps in the Introduction to Serving section of the site.
