The server can only throw the ball upwards with his hand, and must not rotate the ball, so that the ball is thrown straight up from the palm of the hand, at least 16 cm from the palm of the hand that is not holding the clap. The server hits the ball only when the ball lands from the highest point of the toss, and the ball touches the tee table first, then directly over or around the net to the receiving table. In doubles, the ball should first touch the right half of the server, then directly over or around the net to the right half of the receiving player.
