Topic: goal from serve

[marty]

I no a player who is deadly at scoreing on the serve right out of the gate
my qustion is this legal as long as the ball hits the play field first and also
is it ok to pass as long as the ball do'nt stop our do you need to touch 2
men first before you pass to your 3 row from the start of the serve

Yes all of that is legal and easy to stop once you get use to it.

Be aware that this may be illegal starting Jan 1 (ie for the last 2 weeks); I'm still not entirely up to speed on the new rules changes, but it appears that you no longer serve through the hole.  Instead you place the ball on the 5-rod, touch 2 men to time it in, and play.
