@GeneralSpecific3 Thanks! I think that 6 inches converts to 16.25cm.
-
@VanMedia No, you must throw the ball up at least 6 inches (16.25cm).
-
@Kakashinoor Yes the umpires don't police this rule consistently. It is a big problem and I think the service rules need to be reviewed.
-
@ismii12 Yes, once you throw the ball up it is in play. If you don't hit it you lose the point.

how does a fault differ from a let?

@man1of1steel A let is when the ball touches the net on the service and goes over. In that case the point is replayed. If you serve a fault you lose the point. We have a video on our website that discusses these rules and I think it will clarify things for you.

hello sir, i wanted to ask whether its OK for someone to first toss the ball and hit the ball at the top of the flight,not really letting the ball come down? for example lets say my opponent tosses the ball 6 inches in the air, then hits the ball after it has fallen about half an inch from the peak?

@prithwin The problem with that is that if you hit it at that height you will make the ball bounce quite high. You need to let the ball come back down to ensure you can serve a nice low serve.
