Hi Sushant,

If you brush the ball on the top you will generate topspin.  You can do this by getting your bat to go forward and keep it at the right angle to be able to brush over the ball.

A topspin serve isn't always good though because it is easy for your opponent to attack it.  If you are going to serve topspin it needs to be really fast or short.

The Kicker Serve

The kicker serve is one of our "must learn" serves. It's fast, fun, and has lots of topspin. It can be dangerous because if it's not fast enough and if you don't surprise your opponent then they may be able to attack it forcefully putting you on the defensive straight away. Used well though, and sparingly, it can be a great weapon. It can win you a point outright and it will stop your opponent from standing over the table waiting for your short serves since they need to be ready for anything.
