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

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.
