How to do a very short serve? I try, but become too easy.

Hi Konstantin,

The trick is to brush the ball very fast and very fine to get it short.  If you hit the ball flat and fast it will go long, but if you make the contact very thin then the ball will go shorter and still have spin which will make it more effective.
