when I have the ball in the palm of my hand, my hand and the ball must be between the two sidelines?
if they have to be between the sidelines when the ball is thrown up, the ball can leave the sidelines?
thanks

Hi Alex,

You don't need to have your hand between the sidelines.  It just needs to be behind the end line or the imaginary extension of that.

The toss has to be nearly vertical.

Hi Alex,

I am not sure what you mean by effect.

After you hit the ball it can leave by the sidelines, it doesn't have to go out of the end line.
