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.
