Hi Amekun,
To do the topspin you need to brush over the top of the ball. If you get down low you will then reach over the top of the ball with your bat and brush the top so that you get the topspin. In our Serving Secrets course we have a lesson on the Tomahawk Serve where we show you in detail how to get the topspin on the ball.
