Hi Edvin,
Using variation is a key to good serving.
Any serve, no matter how good is only effective till your opponent gets used to it and adjusts their return.
Use a few different serves and also use a variety of spins on the serves and you will have a good range to work with.

The Kicker Serve
The kicker serve is one of our "must learn" serves. It's fast, fun, and has lots of topspin. It can be dangerous because if it's not fast enough and if you don't surprise your opponent then they may be able to attack it forcefully putting you on the defensive straight away. Used well though, and sparingly, it can be a great weapon. It can win you a point outright and it will stop your opponent from standing over the table waiting for your short serves since they need to be ready for anything.

Sir which serve makes the opponent to hit the ball higher and helps us to attack more easily
It is about variation. If you save a topspin serve the ball will tend to go higher if your opponent doesn't read the spin on the serve.
