Hey Alex, that’s great that yo have managed to get the hang of the thumb and finger grip on the backspin serve. Yes your absolutely right it can take time to master but it helps keep the bat level and in the right position to generate spin and maximum control. We’d be happy to take a look at the pictures you mentioned if you send those either by embedding the image here or on email.
