Hi Casey,
There are a few principles you have to follow. The first is to brush the ball on contact. If you are looking down on the ball, imagine it as a flat clock face. You need to hit the ball at 3 or 9 o'clock on the clockface.
The second thing is to brush the ball fast so that you generate more spin.
The new "Serving Secrets Revealed" DVD will help you out. In it we go through thoroughly how to impart spin and sidespin on the ball with a variety of serves.
