I can't put any spin on the ball I had some spin but now I don't.

I think its the paddle, I got it from the academy but its too heavy its got metal on it but I did not know until I got it. I watch a lot of videos but I cant seem to get any spin and I cant seem to do the reverse pendulum serve either so what should I do to get spin.

Hi Caleb,

Rub your finger across the bat and see if it feels grippy.  If it isn't then you need to replace your rubber.

Choosing a Table Tennis Bat

Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.

As you rub your finger across the bat, you won't be able to slide it easily like across a smooth piece of wood.
