Hi Ali,
The height doesn't matter too much. If you want to hit the ball fatser youcan hit the ball at a higher point. If you want more slow spin you can hit it as it is dropping.
The bigger issue is doing some more irregular training routines. You are right, most training is done with regular routines (you know where the ball is coming). You should start to do some more practice with routines whee you don't know where the ball is coming. Thi sis more game like and therefore, closer to a game situation.
Start your training with regular exercises and finish with some irregular exercises.
