If your first serving attempt is a missed serve (swinging the racquet and missing the ball), a non-front wall serve (hitting any wall besides the front wall first), or a touched serve (hitting your opponent with the ball before it touches the ground), you’ll have one more chance to complete a successful serve before you lose the point. Major racquetball serves types are drive serve & lob serve.
Foot fault: when a player steps outside of the service zone before the ball has crossed the line. Short serve: when the ball hits the front wall but bounces off the floor before crossing the line. Three-wall serve: this occurs when the ball hits the front wall but then bounces off of both side walls before hitting the ground. Ceiling serve: when the ball hits the front wall and then bounces off of the ceiling. Long serve: when the ball hits the front wall and bounces to hit the back wall before hitting the ground. Screen serve: this is when the ball is served in such a way that it returns so close to the server that the other player(s) cannot see the ball. [2] X Research source
