I'm 13 and have played recreationally for two years. I had been using a pre made racket that time and I switched into a custom bat.
My setup is as follows
Blade - Radius carbon (clone of sardius)
FH - Yinhe venus II
BH - KTL Rapid speed.
I am mostly still learning to be a forehand attacker with placement shots.

I am shakehand player and I hate that I can't get any spin on my backhand serve even though I am doing it correctly.

Sardius is one of the fastest blades on earth. It is definitely possible to do a bh serve and get a lot of spin with it though.
A couple of questions for you to think about:
1. How do you know that you are doing the bh serve correctly? Are you able to get a lot of spin with your friend's setup? Did you get coached and your coach said your serve is good?
2. How do you know that your bh serve has no spin? Are your friend playing with a premade? Could it be that your friend's paddle is spin-insensitive?
3. Is your rubber grippy? Try dragging a ball across the rubber's surface. Do you feel friction?
