Hi Shoaib,

Yes absolutely. In fact to improve your game you need to impart spin on the serve.  We have a series on our site, Serving Secrets which shows you how to develop your serves with spin.

Backhand Tomahawk Serve

In this lesson we show you how to execute the Backhand Tomahawk serve. This is a good complement to the Tomahawk serve. By utilising a similar action, it will make it difficult for your opponent to tell which way the ball and spin are going.

But you aren't allowed to impart spin as you throw the ball up. You should learn to spin the ball with your bat as Alois mentioned so you can improve your service. Good luck!
