Drop serve
Rules

Is the drop serve illegal?
Alois Rosario Answered 10 years ago
Hi Morgen,
The ball has to go up off your hand and be clear of your hand by at least 16cm. Here is the relevant rule:
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.
