How High Must I Throw The Ball When Serving?
Rules
Brad Price Asked 12 years ago
I know that you have to throw the ball up when serving, is there a minimum height requirment that you have to throw the ball up? People are saying that my serves are illegal because i throw them too low.

Hi Brad,
You need to throw the ball up at least 16cm (approximately 6 inches or the height of the net).

Serving Back into the Net
Whose point is it if I serve the ball with backspin so it bounces back into the net? We explain the rule in this video.

If you throw the ball higher, your serve is going to be more spinny...

Thanks Julio for that extra tip and of course thanks Alois for the reply.
