Sudhanshu Singh Vishu Asked 7 years ago
When we do serve the toss of ball is compulsory or not?
Alois Rosario Answered 7 years ago
Hi Sudhanshu,
Yes it is compulsory. The ball has to go up at least 16cm.
her his the section of the rule that is relevant.
The server shall then project the ball near vertically upwards, without imparting spin, so that it rises at least 16cm after leaving the palm of the free hand and then falls without touching anything before being struck.
