Hi Alec,

Experiment for yourself.  The higher you throw the ball the faster it will be travelling when it hits your bat.  This should mean you can generate more spin.

You need to find a height that is comfortable for you.  Remember it has to go up at least 16cm from your hand but it can go as high as you want as long as it doesn't touch anything.
