Hi Emre,

The idea with a topspin serve is to get it short and fast and still have topspin on the ball.

A long topspin serve is just an invitation to be attacked. 

To get topspin on your short serve you need to brush up on the ball.  If you think about the pendulum serve, hit it later in the swing because this is when the bat is moving in an upward direction.

We cover the techniques of putting topspin on your serves in our DVD Serving Secrets Revealed.  If you can buy a copy I am sure it will help you with this and other serves as well.
