I thought about this. The illegal serve debate never really ends and for umpires that is very hard to judge.
Wouldn't mandatory BH serves resolve that issue? With BH serve it is very hard to block vision at contact and it would be much easier to judge for umpires.
Sure it would require some re learning but I guess players could adjust to that quickly and it could end the illegal serve debates.
To enforce BH serves I would just make the rule that at contact with the ball no part of the upper body can be closer to the net than ball and bat (you could do that on the FH side too if you want but it probably isn't very efficient)
