High Toss serve purpose

Serving

Tarun Telang Asked 14 years ago

Why some players toss the ball very high during the serve ? Does it helps generating more spin?

Alois Rosario Answered 14 years ago

Hi Tarun,

By throwing the ball up high it hits the bat faster because it is dropping from a greater height. This means that the ball will spin more as well.

It can also be used to distract the opponent from being able to watch the ball carefully.
