A TENNIS BALL.
Sports where you serve a ball include tennis, volleyball, badminton, table tennis, and pickleball. In tennis, the serve starts each point, while in volleyball, the serve initiates play and is crucial for scoring. Badminton and table tennis also require a serve to start each rally, and in pickleball, the serve is used to begin each point as well.
It depends on how hard you want to hit the ball
In table tennis, the serve must be diagonal across the table. This means the ball must be hit from one corner of the table to the opposite corner. This is the standard way to serve in table tennis.

you throw the ball in the air and hit it
because you have to
The tennis ball is sized and constructed to work with the tennis rackets. It is pretty much essential because its handling determines the scoring. Without a ball, you cannot have a legal serve. If you do serve an imaginary ball, the first volley will go on forever, with spectacular recovery shots made on both sides of the net.
