I was playing badminton league for 17 years and After 5 years of not playing badminton I have finally got back in too it and my power is back but just need too focus on my footwork and improve my fitness. Keep doing the videos they are great I have watched loads.

Made a similar comment on a different video but this serve is really interesting. I live in Japan and work in one of the best highschools for badminton in the country and I talked to the coach about it. Apparently over 3 years ago a high school team here used this serve in an all Japan highschool competition and it did not go down well. In Japan, this serve is very famous and since the competition 3 years ago, every highschool competition has an agreement between coaches stating the serve cannot be used. People in Japan use this serve as a joke sometimes, even in very casual play!

Love u guys’ content as always, keep up the great work. I am wondering is it possible to make a video about hand placement on grip ? For example, high grip placement around the boost cap area is better for fast flat exchange. Hopefully that make sense

I don't think that they'll add a new rule regarding serves because serving has already had its own category in BWF'S rulebook. (Take women's singles for example, almost everyone do the high serve) What is most likely to happen though, is them adding two separate serving category (low and high serve aka forehand and backhand serve) and then build the rule from then onwards.

Hi Guys, that's a very interesting way to serve, I will certainly be practicing this serve and trying to perfect it before a match I have on Thursday 😬

This is similar to table tennis. You used to be able to hold the balls by your fingers, but they changed it to having it on an open palm because you could put spin on the ball with your fingers, making your serve much harder to return.

Thanks! PS! I was kindda hoping that lefties might do a right handed serve and then swap hands....theat would have made the serve even more crazy 🤣

Hi, I wanted to ask your advice on this. Can you pls make a video or advice me about how to stop my racket sound at top instead of making a sound like wuss from top to shoulder length it’s sound like pulling down even tho i’m using both shoulder,forearm and wrist. Is it correct or the sound only should be at top and there should be no sound like top to shoulder sound?

I will try to use this on my tournament Thanks

I m using this service just 7 days ago..(both forehand spen serv as well)😁😁. it's very hard with nylon shuttle

Can you make a vid where you show physical traning for badminton? Love your vids and thank you for every vid you make❤

Thx for the tip imma use for my queuing

I have been using this serve for past 2 weeks incl at a match. My observation is that you need to practice spinning and releasing the shuttle first such that it lands perfectly down (instead of flying off sideways where your racquet completely misses it). Once you get the release correct, rest is easy

Reminds me of F1 cars. Technology -> restriction, new technology -> restricted again. I must admit that the height rule for service is a big step forward. The 'not hit the feathers first' has come for the same reason as this way of serving = unpredictable trajectory. But I think it won't take long before there will come a counter to this. Maybe it's impossible to flick or if you see them holding the cork you might already know what's coming.

good thing I learnt this cuz tommorow is my badminton doubles competition

After sidek serve, I’m starting proctising this today 😂 lets goooo haha,

This looks like a good one to practise at Summer club 😁 I swear I had a lady do something like this against me...except she could do it forehand - I've never pushed so many returns in the net or out the sides!

I've always held the shuttle just above the cork with the feathers pointing away from me, I find that a very effective way to serve for me at least. As much as I appreciate the skill involved with this new serve, I'd hate to see a rule applied where the holding of the shuttle by the cork was disallowed. Might give this a bit of practice though to see if I can give it a spin! ;)

I'm in between with the "holding the shuttle only by the feathers" rule because it will require people to relearn the forehand serve. People hold the shuttle either at the bottom of the feather and/or the top of the cork. It's very debatable whether people are or aren't touching the cork. But until then, let's just try this serve hahaha

I don’t think this serve should gain traction, but at the same time, I never learned how to serve properly while holding the feathers 😂 I’m only able to serve “properly” (= not hitting it way too high over the net) when holding it by the cork, haha.

Not exactly sure who was the first to use this serve but the earliest instance I found of someone using it was in the Australian open 2022 by none other than Choi himself! Here’s a link to that match and he first uses it at 5:37:15 : kzread.infoFcNqOsvlbng?feature=share Liu Yuchen gets super confused by it and even calls the tournament referee over but play continues. Seems to me Choi practiced the serve a lot and then pulled it out later when he got more comfortable using it.

I felt good because I rarely see left hand tutorials (which I use left )

Wasn't there a similar serve in the past where someone struck the base and feathers at the same time making the shuttle spin? That caused a rule change, I think this will too. But I'm looking forward to trying it 8-).

just a question. but is it better to double grip my badminton racket or use a single grip that was already on the racket.

@stevemawer848

10 ай бұрын

Standard answer: it depends! 🙂 If you have big hands and feel a bigger grip would help you, then go ahead and double grip it. I find a double gripped racquet too thick, so I have a 50% overlap owitha single grip to pad it out a bit more, but not too much. Supplied grips on new racquet are often not very good anyway, so you might try a variety to see which you get on with best. I'm a Karakal PU Super Grip guy, personally. Good luck!

It reminds me of a float serve in c Volleyball

After the rule to hold the shuttle by the feather, we'll try to spin the shuttle the same way while holding the feather 👍

I understand your reservations about preventing rallies, which is fair comment, but surely with this being new is what's causing the advantage and over time how to play it to your advantage will improve so as not to make it so much of an advantage? It looks a tricky serve to master anyway so how effective this would be I'm not so sure, so I think instead of just banning it outright it should be looked at, as I think it is difficult enough winning points on serve as it is without making it harder. I'm also wondering if you could do the same serve holding the feathers (not as easy and possibly effective, but maybe possible), I like the thought of the server having another serve type to throw off the returner. I think we should see how it goes before banning it.

The best racquet is the one you can play well with! Not necessarily the newest, or most expensive, or lightest, etc. Most important is the grip size and the balance that suits you (head heavy, light or even).

As with most rules, it can be enforced at professional tournaments, but never at casual socials, so huge opening for its use at socials, as many players don't serve legally anyway but noone can stop them....

Yeah, I play against people who don't serve in one continuous motion. They move racket forward, then back, then forward to hit the shuttle to serve. There are some other tatics. They don't realize they are so focused on cheating that their serves are easy to return. The same guy will do a net shot, then stick up his racket, waving it, to do a volleyball or basketball style block. He is doing it to be cheeky; not to protect himself. One day, someone is going swing a racket (he is blocking the follow-through) into his racket or hit him in the face (too close to net).

Nice

similar happened in table tannis, so the rule was introduced where you can only throw the ball from a flat, open palm

I'm a little confused, is the shuttle spinning clockwise or anticlockwise? From the finger position and slowing down the video for the right-handed demo, it looks like it's going clockwise but I can't seem to tell for sure

@stevemawer848

Looking at the cork end it's definitely going anti-clockwise - you're spinning the bottom of the cork from left to right.

Hello Badminton Insight, I am living in Suzhou (the place for this year's Sudirman Cup for badminton), I was wondering if you will participate, as I have been your fan for a long time, and I would love to see you in real person and see you play. :)

What's the problem if it rotates clockwise when I'm left handed?

I got to know badminton spin serve after watching this video

While not currently an unlawful serve it does seem to be firmly against the spirit of good badminton and, I suspect, the current laws will be rapidly amended to stop this serve gaining traction. "Gaming" the serve in badminton has been a thing for as long as I have been playing (and that's a long time), but these methods come and then go when people understand the damage they do to our sport.

Whenever I play a singles match, after serving my oponnent usually flicks it back, sometimes I find it very hard to return back, as the timing of the shuttle landing is shortened. Even if I return it, it goes straight to my oponnent's hand where they finish it off with a place. How do I prevent this from happening?

@IgarashiDai

Жыл бұрын

There’s a number of ways to counteract this. One, if you anticipate that this is going to happen, try moving to the center of the court immediately after serving (or any position from where you feel that you can comfortably reach the shuttle, wherever it may go). If you’re still not able to reach it when you do that, consider either serving from a position further back or trying a flick serve to the back of the court to buy yourself more time. Of course there are other ways to do this, but I think these are the more common/easy to try ☺️

Carry your racket with the shuttle for twice maybe even 3 times longer than you normally would, the racket will correct the spinning so long as you don't flick off the shuttle too early.
