Hi Alois and Jeff,

I have saw your video about High Toss Serve. Any idea why the ball should be tossed? Does it affect on the serve?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Archel,

There are two main things.  The main one is that the ball is travelling faster when it hits your bat when falling from a greater height.  This means that you will be able to generate more spin.

Another thing is that it makes it a little harder for your opponent to track the ball during the serve.

Variation of Spin

Varying the spin on your serve makes it harder to return. You can vary the type of spin but possibly even more effective is varying the amount of spin.
