Hi Sondre,

Serving is a big area.  To do a backspin serve you need to brush the bottom part of the ball.  Lay your bat back so the hitting side is facing the ceiling.  Then come forward like you are slicing the ball and just touch the base of the ball.  This will start to get the ball spinning backwards.

To do a side backspin serve, lust drop the end of your bat down so that now the bat is pointing down and away from you.  Repeat the same process.

This is covered in depth in our DVD Serving Secrets Revealed.  Take a look at it in our Online Store. It will help you.

The only tricks I have in the middle of the game is to get the ball back on the table one more time than your opponent.  This always works!!!
