This NEW SERVE could change Badminton FOREVER

No, this video is NOT about the well known spin serve, that is already used by many top players but about a new variation, first shown by danish doubles player Marcus Rindshoj at the Polish Open 2023 and I think it has the potential to change our whole game of badminton!

UPDATE: The BWF has just announced, that this type of serve will be banned for the next two major events (Sudirman Cup and and Malaysia Masters). If the serve will get banned completly will be discussed at the next BWF Council on May 29th (but I am pretty sure it will 😉) Here you find all the details: www.badmintoneurope.com/cms/default.aspx?clubid=4685&cmsid=239&pageid=5381&m=8672877 I am suprised how fast the BWF took action but I also think it is a good decision. What are you thoughts on it?

This type of serve gives too much advantage to the server. I totally agree with the decision

Is SEA Games also affected by this?

[@TheDoctorHojo]

I showed this video to the badminton coach at my school (ex international pro and coaches one of the best girls badminton highschool teams in Japan) and his reaction surprised me. Apparently about 3 years ago, this serve was used within the inter high tournament and it caused a lot of problems, so much so that for the last 3 years, there is a rule within all competitions agreed on by all coaches of highschool teams not to allow this serve. But apparently many Japanese people have been using this serve for a couple of years!

[@tobiaswadenka8435]

Wow that is interesting, thanks for sharing it! Let's see if something similar will happen

[@thomashoglund5671]

@@tobiaswadenka8435 Marcus Rindshøj was in a Danish podcast on May 3rd, he admits it should probably be ruled out, he said this about the idea: "Some years ago, I think it was about 4 years ago, I was at a youth tournament in the Netherlands, where I see a Japanese player in the training hall, he is performing a serve which is curling and spinning a crazy amount. I had never seen anything like it before, so I end up recording it on video just for fun, and then I didn't think much about it since then. Then at a training session a few months ago, me and one of my friends are playing around a bit with the serve after the training, and then he has the idea that you can try and spin it in your hand, by like flicking it in your hand, and then I tried to do it as well, and then after a while I saw the video and tried to do the spinning in the hand, and then I could imagine that it might be that way he is doing it. And then I have just tried to fine tune it, like how much is it spinning, and how can I get it to spin even more."

@@thomashoglund5671 Wow. So it really came from Japan but Japanese refrained from using it. Code of Bushido!

[@jasonurroz570]

In table tennis, you have to toss the ball from a flat palm to prevent "pre-spin" being added to the ball. In pickleball, they changed the rule this year to prevent pre-spinning the ball. I see this getting outlawed relatively quickly.

[@pahefaux8328]

This rule appeared for exacly the same reason in table tennis. 60 years ago servers used to spin the ball with fingers before hitting with racket. That flat palm rule came to avoid this.

Agreed. The shuttle is played with the racket. Holding the shuttle for a serve should be just that. The hand should not be allowed to add energy into the shuttle.

if this gets picked up by the pros, I am 100% sure this will be ruled out very fast

[@shamurocks99]

This serve has actually changed the outcome of a pro match! About a week and a half ago in a Korean professional tournament match current National Team player Choi Sol Gyu and Seo Seung Jae found themselves a game down when in the second game I saw choi start to use a serve with a ton of spin that completely threw off the opponents. Once he started to get into the rhythm of the serve there was no way back for the opponents! Here’s the match that I saw for those who are curious: kzbin.infoy-q2-VpBrOs?feature=share Choi first uses the serve around the 22 minute mark which the opponent manages to return with decent quality but it’s not until he starts to use it more later in the game when he is down around 9-14 that the momentum starts to shift. I was actually really curious about how he was getting so much spin from the grip he was using and tried practicing a few times myself without much success but the flicking of the shuttle makes it so much more clear as to how that much spin is put on the bird. Thanks for the helpful video!

[@tobiaswadenka8435]

In table tennis, they added a specific rule for the services that specifies no spin can be imparted to the ball. Pretty sure this will be added to badminton rules if needed.

[@saitenkiller]

No way they will keep this legal though since this will cause an enormous shift of advantage in favour of the server. I bet they are evaluatating possible rule changes as we are watching this clip right now. Great video, thanks a lot for pointing out the details of this stroke of genius.

[@badmintonbites]

Very interesting and creative. This feels like something that could eventually be banned if abused in tournaments enough. Similar to what happened in table tennis with finger spinning (spoilers, it got banned) during the service to produce virtually unreturnable serves. This service no longer relies on racket skills to gain an advantage but on a loophole in the rules. What was originally supposed to be a way to start the rally (holding the shuttle with your hand) has become a tactic. I am curious though if pros will find a counter to this serve or whether it fundamentally breaks the game.

[@chrisgin_nz]

Yeah, I agree that if it is really impossible to return, it'll get banned - it's just not in the spirit of the game and makes for a poor spectacle.

[@luf4rall]

Everything becomes a tactic when you're playing competitively. The spin serve can also be very advantageous when executed correctly. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4SbeWpng5p9eqs

[@tobiaswadenka8435]

Yes this might be important as I had the feeling that it is not too hard to learn. Recurving seemed difficult because many times the shuttle does not turn at all

[@pandabadminton]

I doubt that this serve will be allowed to continue as with other racket sports, they frown upon external forces acting on the ball/birdie that's not caused by the racket.

[@ongkimchoon7383]

Thank You for the video. In the late 60's, Chinese players was using the inverted service. The Sideks were the first to use it in an international tournament. Even as a low service, it is effective only if you add the height of the whole shuttle crossing the top of net as on occasion the feathers will brush the net and fall short. Not certain about accuracy with base line flicks.

[@vijayendranvijay457]

Watching the video again, 7 aces in a raw at the start of the game by Rindshoj serve-that s remarkable. But I am certain, players will find a way to counter this as well, from then, this will be used more sparingly as a surprise weapon (Just like flick serves/spin serves), I have mastered (kind of) spin serve and found it effective when used sparingly. A few here and there throughout the game and a master weapon at critical points when opponents are too eager to attack.

[@PT-qe2rb]

Yet as we see later in the video, they still lost 21-19, and were behind 13-11, so the serve is not as dominant as the video would make it out to be!

A million years ago when I was in the Air Force, we had a badminton tournament at our gym. I always thought of badminton as an easy fun game. I had no idea of the level of badminton play that I saw in that tournament. I was completely blown away by the stamina and athleticism of the players.

[@blankx15]

Im not saying I invented this but I just watched too many anime including prince of tennis lol. In college I would do this cause I thought it just made sense. I would even make it so the shuttle cock would barely go over the net making it much harder to return or at times like chop it (again not a pro at badminton so dont know what the real term is) but it would let the shuttle cock wiggle so much along with the spin. Me and my friend won our school sports festival event that year. I was in college 13 yrs ago.

I see the rules changing to use a "flat hand" requirement to hold the shuttlecock, like the ball serve requirement in Table Tennis. The flat hand serve rule came about in Table Tennis because of the same thing, players pre-spinning the ball before the serve.

[@seoyoungmintv]

Hello, I am a badminton KZbinr in Korea. The spin serve was used by Korean players, but I saw the video and it was used in international competitions! In my personal opinion, I would like the BWF to ban the technology by law.

[@jetibest]

I've sometimes done a deceptive serve in a doubles game that my opponents have argued is illegal, but reading the badminton laws, I can't think of why it should be illegal. I start by dropping the shuttle, and pretend to do a regular serve, but then follow the shuttle downward with the racket, until it's quite low and almost hitting the floor, and only then, I flick the shuttle to do a deep serve instead. This messes up the anticipation of the opponent, and many complain this is an undue delay of the service, or that the racket is not moving forward continuously. However, I think it's actually legal. First, while this is counterintuitive, the service technically starts only as soon as your racket first starts moving forward, so while the shuttle is dropping, the service has not started yet (see law 9.2). Second, there is no undue delay as per law 9.1.2, because that law only applies to the time after the backwards motion is completed. But in this case, the backwards motion is still going on while the shuttle drops. The trick is in still moving the racket backwards while the shuttle is already dropping, I don't see any law that prohibits this, but I could be wrong?

[@nomad.wedding]

What if you hold the shuttle upside down and hit the cork to add topspin for a really flat fast drive serve?

The current service topic in tabletennis is that a lot of players now seem to "hide" the impact point of the service with the arm holding the ball. This will make it much harder to read. Maybe this also can be used in badminton 🤔

[@markchandler7089]

[@z0uLess]

Hello. I am a table tennis player, but I heard about this serve and got super excited about it because I love innovation in sport. In table tennis, which is a very spin oriented sport, you are not allowed to throw the ball with your fingers during the serve -- you have to throw it with a flat hand. At first glance for me, I dont think the serve is unreturnable, because the spin effect that you are adding has its own predictable rythm. I think the physics of it dictate that it will flip at a frequency, albeit one that slowly changes.

[@ImKrazyFrench]

I've been trying the serve today and I'm not sure whether you're a fast learner or I am the slow one, but my result aren't nearly as good as yours so far for the same amount of time spent. So far I found that rotational speed seems to be a crucial element. I have been having better result when I really 'flicked' hard to shuttle rather than flicking it moderately.

[@-MarkWinston-]

The faster you flick it the better but timing becomes more crucial. Get the timing right and the shuttle will look drunk all the way to opponent's court.

[@tobiaswadenka8435]

I am still not at a level where I can play it on a consistent basis at all and I make way to many mistakes so don't worry. I think it needs many hours to get this serve "match ready" so far for me it works best when I don't overthink it and when I am quite relaxed and don't try to flip the shuttle too hard

Maybe we should look into how Lee Yong Dae serves. He had done this before and sent the shuttle wobbling (not spinning) across the net with a normal hold.

[@pandabadminton]

He addressed this in the video, you can already add a spin to a serve by normally holding it and slicing it with the racket, this is adding more spin to the shuttle using your fingers. A shuttle wobbles because it's spinning, a shuttle won't move side to side if it's flat.

Around 10 years ago, this particular serve was used in a couple of Danish tournaments. However, the organizers were uncertain about its legality and needed to make a decision. As a result, players refrained from using the serve until a verdict was reached. Despite the lack of a definitive ruling, the serve gradually fell out of favor at higher levels for reasons that remain unclear.
