O.k the first thing you do in a match is serve , serving is vital in badminton now due to the change of rules. Badminton now really relies on the serve and to become a good badminton player you need to know the serve.
Doubles serve - In standard club play the doubles serve should tend to be low to stay attacking.
The rules of the serve:The badminton serve should - be served diaganally.The badminton serve should - reach in court on the opponents side (pretty basic lol)The badminton serve should - be served whilst your opponent is ready and while part of your foot is touching the ground - you should be stationary.The badminton serve should - be struck in one clean motion.The badminton serve should - be struck with the cork of the shuttle being struck first.The badminton serve should - be struck below your lowest rib.The badminton serve should - be struck with your racket facing below 90 degress , meaning the racket has to face down.The badminton serve should - be in a straight motion , not changing the speeds while serving,The badminton serve should - be played on your first attempt e.g if you miss the shuttle on your first attempt then it is a fault.The badminton serve should - be a good one (not a rule by it is very important to me)(copy and pasted this from the singles section it is a bit distorted so check the "singles badminton serve"post I made if you want to see the serve's rules.
The badminton doubles serve:
The badminton doubles serve - should be as low as possible (without hitting the net lol)
The badminton doubles serve - is served low to keep attacking
The badminton doubles serve - is different to singles because the court is different , the sides are in and the back gallery is out (for service only)
The badminton doubles serve - is also very important to become a good standard player.
The badminton doubles serve - should skim over the net so it doesn't get attacked.
The badminton doubles serve - should be as close to the 'T' as possible.
Variations of the doubles serve:
Flick- the flick serve should be used when you are trying to decieve your opponent , so you can win a point , or put pressure on there return.
The drive: The drive serve is a quick rapid serve which should catch the opponnet out , this is a hard serve to master but is an excellent 'warning' serve.
The short side serve: This brings the opponent moving and keeps them guessing . It also means you and your partner should be ready for a most proabable return of a straight shot.
Thats it -just good luck on your serves. The service is really important now that badminton changed its rules.
