I saw a lot of players tossing the ball so high while serving
What is the importance and purpose of it?
Thanks coach :)

Hi Raiane,
The high toss adds speed to the ball when it contacts the bat. This helps you to generate more spin on the ball because it is hitting the bat at a greater speed and thereby you can make the ball spin around faster.
To some extent, the high toss can also distract the receiver from watching the contact which is an important part of receiving a spin serve.

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.
