Hi Judah,

Yes players do have some distinctive serves.  It is usually their swing.  They often get a similar result with the contact.

Just look at the players and see which type of swing you like and see if you can imitate it. 

Wang's flip at the end of his swing that he does sometimes is just a distraction to make it harder to see how he is contacting the ball.  He doesn't often hit it at the end.  If he did it would have the reverse spin curving from right to left.
