Perfect Badminton Low Serve Every Time - BEST METHOD

Great help for amateurs like me. I play badminton at the local badminton club and more often than not my opponents returned my serve with a nasty smash or I ended up landing inches short. Obviously, I was doing it all wrong. But not anymore. Just took me two days to practice it and now I am good. Thanks for this tutorial!

Great tips, I’ve been serving reasonably good backhands for years but these tips have improved my consistency and accuracy. One curious point though, all the serves you demonstrated would be classed as ‘ illegal ‘ due to the height of contact ( too high ) 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@nt7604]

What happens if you hop up standing on your toes, will that make the serve easier and legal ?

[@totococf7278]

Nope, the max height is 1.15m he is bellow I think.

[@redaABDI]

I saw your video and went to the badminton club right away, HUGE DIFFERENCE! My services became a nightmare for other players. I even made like 10 successive points just from my services. Please note that before this video, my services were not worth 2 cents (lot of failure), i had no confidence. I even won in a double Vs the trainer. More over once you get this point you will get a lot of confidence and you will be able to focus on the other aspects of the game to improve yourself. Thank you so much, the video is well done. Big thumb up.

[@SwiftBadminton]

Some commentators have mentioned this serve is a bit borderline in terms of height, and looking back I agree. I was focused on demonstrating the perfect shuttle path on camera, I ended up serving a bit higher than normal. I don't think you'd get called on a service fault in general play, but of course adjust as necessary!

[@pantheonproductionz]

Hi, I like your videos but I agree with the other commentators. You are quite tall and serving at armpit level. Even under the old serve rules it would be high. I hope you clarify this properly as it may give beginners the wrong idea.

[@HT-ev3gg]

csk1 yep.. right on point. The purpose of the video was to show : How to low serve without getting your head smashed if its a poor serve 😁.. But some people as I can see were quick to point out the Height issue. My suggestion .. please re edit the video and add a Text line stating the same. Anyway. Nice video. Audio was clear. Great work. 👏👏👏👌👍

Unfortunately true, the entire shuttle has to be under the lowest rib of your chest. In order to meet that angle of the arm must be more steep like 45 degrees, varies per person of course.

Hi there, this video was very useful to learn the backend service. One thing I came to know that you missed talking is1.25 Meter height rule , “the whole of the shuttle shall be below 1.15 metres from the surface of the court at the instant of being hit by the server's racket”.

[@jackburtonstwin]

Excellent video with sound advice for improving the backhand low serve. Was your serve borderline... maybe, but all professional players will push the laws governing the serve to their limit (just see how frequently pro players are picked up for an unlawful high serving action). Two critical badminton laws that might have been worth mentioning are that the racket head must be at a 'discernible downward angle to the racket handle' and that the first forward movement of the racket head toward the shuttle is deemed to be the start of the serving action and that the laws of badminton require the serving action to be a single, unbroken movement. As such it is technically possible to fault a player for moving their racket backwards and forwards toward the shuttle prior to hitting the shuttle. This is why you will see some players hold the shuttle behind their back until they are completely set up to serve.

[@davidh4557]

Thanks for adding your comment and providing the laws regarding a legal serve. You were being rather generous in saying his serve was borderline. If you pause the video, there are several times when he makes contact with the shuttle to serve and the contact is clearly too high. Unfortunate.

[@jackburtonstwin]

@@davidh4557 I agree, a professional, world class player should be pulled for that serve. Generally, at a lower standard, the question I ask myself when umpiring is - Does this player gain an clear advantage from this serve? If the answer is "yes" then it should be faulted, if the answer is "no discernable benefit" then I might let it pass for the sake of not "breaking" the game.

Excellent video and sound tips. Anyone else noticed the serve height to be too high for current 1.15m? And not following up the swing after serve?

[@dodzpest5426]

Isn’t too high to serve.? 😳🧐

[@fabricevalleix5377]

115cm is rule, the net is 155cm high, and he serve at the midle of hit. The net itself is 75cm high, so if you serve at the midle height of it, you serve at 155-(75/2)= 117.5cm. A bit high. but not much, so with the angle of camera, it wasn't possible to be precise, but he is around the limit max. Not so high. :) Just 5cm too high, I think it was because he focused on the move more.

This is a great video, it all makes sense, thank you. My only criticism is that I think I think it should have mentioned that a great backhand serve technique allows you to hit either long or short without your opponent knowing which one you are going to use. The element of surprise is obviously very important. At my (low) level of badminton, many people I play with hit (unreliable) forehand serves, so I am glad you dismiss that...

Excellent video! It's the same information I provide to the athletes I coach. The only thing I do differently is that I personally hold the cork when I serve. I always have. Always will. I tell my athletes to hold the shuttle however they wish so long as they stick with it and don't change. My serve is one of my best weapons and I legitimately don't have to drop or toss the shuttle. It gets hit out of my hand very easily. By no means am I saying you're wrong and I'm right. I'm just pointing out that holding the cork isn't necessarily improper.

serve is the ONLY shot we can control. In the aspect of a game, missing serves becomes a big deal. You may as well forfeit the game if you can't serve.

[@rayawira]

You have a point. But serve in badminton doesn't affect the game as much as the serve in other sports, say tennis or volley ball. It's important but i wouldn't say "forfeit the game". We could still have some fun even when we don't know how to serve properly.

[@tayonguyen]

Anang Sulistyono you’re talking about having fun and if you don’t care as much, you can allow to miss. I was referring for players who compete, and that quality serve matters too, at certain level, advanced receivers can rush or fake your return serves.

[@rayawira]

@@tayonguyen Players who compete doesn't need to watch this video. They already know how to serve.

[@tayonguyen]

Anang Sulistyono you’d be surprised, all levels can compete, even the elite make unforced errors on serves when under pressure . Serves may look easy and silly but can’t be taken for granted. Since badminton became a 21 pts system, all unforced errors is a giveaway pts, including missing a serve. There’s no more “2nd serve” to account the service mistakes like we had with 15pts system. So i kinda disagree with your statement “serve in badminton doesn’t affect as much”

Ok so. He’s going by the 150cm rule. He’s pretty short. But yeah, if you’re average height it’s normally bottom rib height to serve. If you are a female, which means you’re average height will be shorter, I’d recommend 1.5m rule.

[@mattg9910]

Shouldn't serves be below 1.15 meters?

[@100cableguy]

yes

[@TheDreamLeaf]

Love your tip on keeping it simple as I totally agree. More simple = More likely to suceed even when under pressure The thing is, you're locking the elbow and shoulder. So I presume you're doing a low serve by squeezing the grip and not moving the arm at all. That means if you want serve towards the back of the court (e.g. drive serve or flick serve), you'd have to pull your arm back first right? Cause if you do, in my mind that means the opponent will instantly know you're serving to the back-court the moment they see you pull your arm back Would love to hear your thoughts! =)

[@AbdulKareemAbdulRahman]

sprry, aren't you serving above ur waist level, a rule of thumb to identify a high serve?
