[FONT=.SF UI Text][FONT=.SFUIText]currently my standard backspin serve is quite heavy in sidespin but not as much in backspin, maybe 75% side and 25% back from what I notice. I brush down the backside of the ball, at the 4 o'clock position, but still lots of side and barely any backspin.[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=.SF UI Text]

[FONT=.SF UI Text][FONT=.SFUIText]I can do a heavy pure backspin serve by brushing at the 6 o'clock under the ball, with my paddle basically perpendicular to the table, but this serve seems not practical in a match because the ball travels too slow and goes high, AND it's VERY hard to place this ball long (a lot of upwards momentum, and not enough forward), so opponent can easily attack it.[/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=.SF UI Text][FONT=.SFUIText]I want to improve my technique to have more backspin on it, but keeping note of my above points, is it even possible? [/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=.SF UI Text][FONT=.SFUIText][Either a pure backspin serve or with lots of sidespin - both are fine, because I don't have any trouble generating lots of sidespin].[/FONT][/FONT]
