Hey Dan, yeah it’s good to experiment and try these things to help develop your game. I would say you’re doing the right things, trying to hit the ball more towards your left shoulder I find is better as you can get a better angle to come around the side of the ball more. The backswing you can keep quite short and start by your stomach. The main thing I would say to focus on is staying relaxed and having a smooth action, this is how someone like Gauzy manages to to the crazy spin shots he does.
Once you’ve improved the touch and contact on the ball then to get even more spin you need to build up the acceleration in the shot but keeping the same contact and brush. These type of shots do take a bit of time but if you keep training it you will get there!
Dan 🙂
