Fault to throw the ball up and not hit it
Rules
Tim Challener Asked 6 years ago
When serving is it a fault to throw the ball up and not hit the ball on the way down? i.e. choose not to make a stroke

Hi Tim,
That is a fault and the other player's point. As soon as you throw the ball up it is definitely in play and you need to make a good serve.
