how to badminton serve?
The rules to serve in badminton will be shown.
The most common types of serve are presented next.
The serve is perfect for beginners. The aim is to hit the shuttlecock solidly, with the intention that it flies to the end of the opponent's track so as not to provide a comfortable rest. The better results will come when the bottom line is higher and closer to it.
The blow should follow a diagonal trajectory.
Your position when performing these types of services will be the same as the previous one, so your opponent will not be able to know where your blow will go. The shuttlecock's aim is to move over the net but to be close to the opponent's service line.
It is recommended for badminton players with an intermediate level to use these types of services because they require more control in hitting.
If you have mastered the forehand serve, it is time to use the backhand. They are recommended for intermediate to advanced badminton players since they are more complicated. The serve can be directed to the "T", backwards, to the right, or to the body of your opponent, so you can have many different variations. The shape of the grip will allow you to achieve more aggressive angles for your opponent.
The impact of the steering wheel must be made at the height of the abdomen and the wrist must be moved to determine the direction.
These types of serves are the most difficult to perfect in badminton, and are only recommended for players with an advanced level. The main goal is to surprise the opponent, who will be waiting for a short serve. The shuttle must fly to your opponent's baseline without a foul because of the quick flick of the wrist.
In the event of a surprise, your opponent should move to the back, leaving most of the track free so that you can place your next shot comfortably. A well placed serve puts you in a good position to win the point.
It is a type of serve that tries to confuse the opponents. To execute this type of service, you must position yourself as you would for a low backhand serve, but instead of leaving a short serve, you must use your wrist and thumb to surprise and leave a longer serve than your opponent expects.
It should be directed towards your opponent's backhand since that point is usually not well covered and makes hitting very uncomfortable.
This serve requires a high level of execution to be effective.
It is not convenient to abuse this type of serve as it would make it predictable and we would lose this special weapon.
As you improve your level of play, you need to practice all the different types of serves. It is important to have a dominant serve in order to win more matches. You should dedicate some time daily to practicing the different types of serves that we discuss in this article.
