Hi,coach. Recently, I watch a video about high toss serve. Then, I practice the serve.  But I always hit the ball at the side of bat or hit the side of table. This makes me lose point. I think the problem is timing. Are you have some advice to me. Thanks.

Hi Elvin,

Yes, practice your toss for a while even without the ball.  Get the feel of the ball falling at the different speed.  Then you can introduce the bat and see how it goes.

Hi sir Alois, I have a problome on this serve too that's the ball always high and make them easier to flick or topspin so, when i throw the ball and i swing my bat when the bat on what height ? Is it higher than the net or lower ?

Yes, wait till the ball is a bit lower before hitting it.  It will still be above net height but probably lower than where you are hitting it at the moment.

This is a common problem of the High Toss serve because players become anxious to hit the ball.

The rule is that it has to be above the level of the surface of the table.

I see anyway, i just practicing my high toss serve it seems my high toss serve is better that the ball is always low by doing as what in the "how to make a low ball" video but, my problome is only the spin on the ball you said that with the high toss, what we need to do is our hand must be relax and spin the ball and it seems the ball is not spin too much, so, how fast the movement of the hand and wrist ? And also most of the serve is long, so how to make the ball short and have a lot of spin with the high toss and also, i try to do he zhi wen high wide fast high toss serve and the bass is not wide and most of the ball will land on the corner of rhe table rather than wide near the net and also, sometimes i throw the ball up, the ball will go in front of my body. So what's the position of my hand to make the ball vertical ? Please for the answer :D anyway, thank you for all of the video thank you very much ^^

Practice the toss of the ball more and the whole serve more.  It will get better.
