I almost never use the forehand low serve, it feels so awkward after doing the backhand for so long. I never thought about changing the angle of the shuttle for the serve. Great informative video on how to do all the variations, fault Jenny and the clip at the end showing the effectiveness were my favorite 😃

I make mistakes alot like hitting the net when i serve this helped alot thanks!

I feel that low backhand serves are played too often at the amateur level. It gives the opponent too many options for the return if the server is not moving like a pro.

@stevemawer848

But low backhand serves can force the opponent into a defensive position immediately - a good low serve will tend to force a lift. If the server isn't moving well, any serve will put them at a disadvantage.

I do a lot of backhand flick serves but this is still helpful for me

Hi badminton insight i found your videos in perfect time i have a tournament tomorrow hope this will help thank you for your amazing videos and techniques😊😊 and please make a video of showing how to react when your opponent smashes to the side even though it's half court.

hello, at our club we use this really weird drive serve. it actually works in u15 for some reason. it is just a backhand drive but on the forehand side. it is kind of like the sneaky serve but against young people its very good. this is especially good on the right side of service

Thank you 🙏

It took me ages to graduate to a backhand serve but it was really worth it. I find the key to consistency is to move as few things as possible and the backhand serve done properly is basically only wrist movement. Forehand serves involve a lot more movement of body parts so is harder to make consistent. A lot of players in my club play backhand for low serves and forehand for high serves so they are very predictable!

I am always trying to improve on my high forehand serve. It's always so short. I will definitely use the tips given here. I can also never serve high to the side of the court across my body. I always hit it out the side or way too short. Any tips? I find it quite funny since I only play recreationally and am very new, but sometimes I wonder if something is wrong with me. I love your videos. Thank you so much for them. I have learned a lot from watching them.

I usually get the serve right 99/100 times, except that one time where I was like yamaguchi serving to the complete wrong side of the court 😅

One important aspect on the high serve, serving to the middle of the court narrows the return angles where serving to the sidelines opens them leaving you more exposed.

Try improving your serve quality so they can’t get on top of the serve to drive it! Or try serving to different places / flicking 🏸

Would you guys be interested in teaching the "soft serve"? I'm a teacher and a kid showed me how to do it - pretty good deceptive serve (thought it might be good for you to add that on seeing as you're teaching forehand serves 😃)

I always thought this was just the basic serve. This was the way I originally learned how to serve.

@stevemawer848

Back in the day it was the only way to serve! Then someone invented the backhand serve and everything changed.

In juniors, I used my forehand to serve low & high for singles & doubles. I was really good at it! In doubles recreational play, it annoyed my partners & opponents so much they tried to tell me I am not allowed to serve with my forehand. Their reasoning is because everyone serves backhand in doubles. 🤦‍♂ On separate points, I will either serve low or high with either my backhand or forehand. My opponent will see I am serving by forehand or backhand but would have to predict when I would do a low serve or a high serve. They tried to tell me this is illegal as I must serve backhand for the entire match as this is the way everyone serves in doubles. "I'm not everyone. I spent hours practicing serving. Do you?" I think they were more annoyed with the consistency of serving right on the line.

Should I train plyometric exercises?

Not sure if it's needed but can you guys speak on the comparsion between the plastic shuttle and feather? Then again there may not be much to say but I just thought I'd put it out there.

@stevemawer848

3 ай бұрын

If you play with both you'll find it's pretty much a completely different game with plastics - they have a different feel and flight and anyone used to playing with feathers can be made to look like they've never played before when they use plastics! Nothing beats the crisp feel of a straight-from-the-tube feather bird! 🙂

Ive always practiced and been good at the low serve because I always play doubles, but whenever I get challenged for singles by my friends they use this and I try it it always goes out or the other side😂 perfect timing! But i have no idea why some people in doubles use this serve though, most of the time it goes out.

Jenny & Greg, can you guys explain why the forehand serve (long or short) is so seldom in Men's singles?

@stevemawer848

3 ай бұрын

The low backhand serve is kind of an attacking serve which is difficult for the receiver to attack - a high forehand serve can be smashed straightaway. And low forehand serve has a much longer shuttle travel compared to a backhand serve, so gives the opponent more time to react. And I believe a backhand serve is easier to make consistent due to the limited movement of body parts. Of course, I could be wrong!

Can you give me a good training schedule

Is the forehand service good for double? Why and why not? Thank you for your video as always!

@stevemawer848

Any serve is good for doubles if you do it right! I find the backhand serve to be much easier to make consistently good, so I stick that. Forehand serves can be a bit more erratic due to more body movement involved.

Compared to a backhand serve there's more body and arm movement involved so can be more difficult to control consistently.

But its useful only in singles I think. In doubles I see forehand serve not so often, its looks like some retro technique (for doubles)

Whilst I agree that the forehand serve is an important stroke why are we asking beginners to master, what is. a very difficult action? The forehand serve requires a swinging racket to contact / hit a dropped shuttlecock - for beginners this a recipe for failure! Yet this is what coaches and teachers demand of total beginners! Grass root badminton coaches and teachers need to be more understanding and get players playing by beginning with the backhand serve which does not require the same degree of difficulty. And yes, once they are enjoying badminton, introduce the forehand serve.

But why men dont serve high ??
