Perfect Low Serve, Tips and Tricks, Badminton

[@jamesmcrory8990]

I had my first game last Saturday in 25 years !!!!! With Mrs and friends I’m slowly learning, just been watching videos about the rules of the game. I was getting confused about why we have to switch service courts but I understand it now :) the ‘SERVER’ switches service areas depending on if the score is odd or even, the opponent does not change service courts until they win the rally. I need to improve on my serves My reflexes are not strong YET!! when my opponent smashes the bird at me, I duck out of the way lol I need to try and move quickly to send the bird back. This is a regular thing now, every Saturday, we going again this Saturday:)

[@teddyheryono7955]

Good luck sir !

[@ItsPradhyumnn]

Nice , how are you doing now?

[@Grabruh]

Lean forward, hold the birdie with your thumb and index, bend your Elbow back and then forward on impact, have a loose grip and use the bevel grip, avoid hitting the feathers and point in the direction you want to hit to.

Thanks, and yes we also saw the small error🙃 will try to do better en future videos💪🏻

[@Pahul.G.9]

Make sure you also hold the racquet at the very top of the grip. It gives more flick power and keeps ur serve consistent.

[@BadmintonFamly]

Yes some people like to do this, but I think you won be as efficient on the next hit if your fingers are placed on top of the grip. I prefer to hold a neutral grip position and then be more strong for the flick ;-)

[@Longtack55]

Thanks BF. Some hold the racquet with the thumb just above the V in the handle to provide more control. I hold it lightly, even with just the short thumb, palm and fingertips (but I have big hands.) I can also easily change the racquet direction without giving it away too soon as I seem to have more flex from a light but secure grip.

[@kapilyadav9871]

Isn’t the shuttle above the waist level.? As per rule it has to be below waist.

Super thumbs up, except I want to share one thing, that I like to serve with a pen-like grip, with both my index finger and thumb on the opposite sides of the wedge shaped part of the handle. Gives me reasonable grip. Do you think is acceptable and correct?

[@bishalsharma1188]

Thank you sir😇😇😇

[@BadmintonFamly]

Your welcome 👏🏻

[@abdullahahmad184]

Question: Low Serve Direction (MD) When serving from the right side, I sometimes change the shuttle direction and the racket direction one second before pushing the racket forward. This causes shuttle to go towards the forehand front corner of receiver and he is usually not prepared to return it flat so he lifts it, giving way to a smash. My query is that international players never do this. Why? What is it that the other player does which renders this serve unnecessary?

[@BadmintonFamly]

The pros and so fast on receiving this type of shot so that's why it is not used that much. Sometimes it can be good as an variation when serving. We made a video about this technique you mention, find it on our channel 😉

[@sahd4726]

Sometimes, it can deceive you opponent, but remember that you're also opening the vulnerability for a straight reply. If you're using it on Pros that has a better awareness and reflex than common people, that's not a very good idea IMHO haha. Remember to communicate with your partner if you wanna do it tho. Sometimes our partner didnt expect us to serve into the outside. Make sure they're prepared for the possible reply

[@anandkumarbglr]

[@brijeshagrawal1426]

From which part of badminton we should contact the birdie during serve, means upper or middle or from near the upper/ side frame?

[@BadmintonFamly]

Tricky to explain, i believe the video shows it better than words🙃

[@vishnusathyaseelan7841]

I like this bgm ❤

[@papgyula]

I would love to hear about how to continue AFTER this low serve. It's not obvious to me, what is the proper movement, stance, and what to look for in the opponent to be able react quickly. In singles I often find myself stranded in mid court, and late figuring out to jump forward for a drop return, or turn back for a lift return to my backhand side, etc. There must be a way, the proper stance, diagonal split step, or something that enables the best reactionto whatever the returner is doing - can you do a video on this maybe? Because if I practice just what you show in this video, I will put the serve where I need to - but unfortunately this is TOO STATIONARY a practice, so it will not help reacting to a return. Thanks, and keep up the good work, I love all these tutorials :)

[@glai3291]

Personally I think after serving you should take a low position just about where the 'T' is in the court markings (ie front and center). This allows you to cover drops to either front corner quickly. Your partner covers lifts and pushes as their position while you are serving should be with one leg on either side of the center line (I stand closer to my backhand side so I can get a cheeky overhead clear in if necessary) and about a racquet's reach behind you. Not sure if I described the positioning too well but hopefully you understand what I'm tryna say

[@BadmintonFamly]

Hi Gyula, it´s a very good question, we will cover this in the future for sure ;-) I think it is very individually, it also depends on how your feet stand when you do the serve, some prefer to have the dominant leg in front, but as you can see my feet are more in line. I prefer this so its easier for me to go down in the legs ready to attack the net or cover the flat over the head. But we will cover all aspects of this later on. Thanks, Thomas

Nice video. Thanks. I am an in between intermediate and advanced doubles club player who loves to try different shots in my game. Mostly I enjoy my game at net play, do love smash sometimes but my strength and concentration will be always in placement. Why I am explaining this is, do you have any suggestion for me in racket as I am looking for new one and also recommendation of string tension. I hope with my description would have given an overview of what type of player I am and I always look for improving my game. Looking forward to your reply.

[@shikhapatel6784]

I do not take any training for badminton, please suggest me some exercises & self practice for returning smashes

[@chitung2277]

Would you say it’s more of a push forward by the elbow/arm or more of a rotation of the wrist, in hitting the shuttle? What throws me out is the slight bend of the wrist. What does that achieve and it seems to be that affects the way we hit the shuttle.

[@BadmintonFamly]

Its both actually as you can se in the video, but some other player only use the arm and others use almost only the wrist, its really up to you what suits you the best. Why I bend the wrist just a bit is to be able to "go under" the shuttle so I can slice it just a bit, that gives the motion of the shuttle over the net the best angle. The goal of the serve is to be at its highest point just on the edge of the net, and then beginning to move down, making it more difficult to receive ;-) Thomas

[@chitung2277]

For such a simple concept there are so many factors involved to get it just right and consistent. The big O really helps my serve as I had been applying it in games. Thanks again for all these info.

[@dlarahjoel]

Hi guys, thanks for all the great vids! Really helpful. One question on the low serve: On one of ur vids you emphasize the importance of slicing the shuttle (you say that it goes downwards quicker). In this video you do not mention it (although you say something about slicing in the comments). Do you always slice when you serve low (or not) and if yes, how important is the slicing of the low serve? Thanks in advance...

[@BadmintonFamly]

The slice can add more precise serve but tricky to master. Correct the slice makes the shuttle go down after going over the net but the speed must be totally correct orherwise it wont have effect. Try to se what happens with just a small slice, and try to rotate the racket just a bit so the slice is easier. Maybe watch a video of Lee Yong Dae, ha is really good at this shot (with the old service rule😉) Good luck
