Indoors I don't think an underhand serve should be used, ever... there are far too many other methods of serving that do more than simply give the other team a better than average chance of getting a great pass off, and hitting on your team.

Outdoors is another story, while I am still working on perfecting mine, I have seen a (what was referred to as a reverse sukihara) underhand serve which his a high rate of forward spin and a very high trajectory. The serve is easy to lose in the wind, and in the sun... not to mention if you do not pass well it is easily shanked due to the high velocity and vertical drop.

I think that after a period of time of playing, any player should naturally want to play at a higher level and move away from the standard underhand serve and evolve into an overhand, fire throwing, machine.
