Dear All, Please advice what is the most suitable service for Single and dabble play I mean short service or long service Does it very base on the shuttlecock Feathers and Plastic shuttlecock Please advice
Depends on level of play... and where the receiver stands... Short if advanced level or receiver is standing back. Long and high if beginner level or receiver is standing front.
A flat, fast serve against slow players. 100% chance of the player missing the shuttle or mishitting it and you get some cheap points. A high and long serve to the backhand side of the player if he/she stands too close to the forehand side. In some doubles play, aim the centre line. It can confuse the player. But it's very dangerous play in my opinion. The receiver may hit his partner if his partner is standing behind him/her in the classic front-back position.
Dear Visor Thanks for the reply This is because beginner should practices this sine beginner .. is it? What should be the advantage if beginner doing long high service Please advice
Dear Alien, Thanks for the very detailed reply I sow Professional players like Lee Choge and Lin Dun always serve short service
Only serve you can use to great success in both, doubles and singles, is backhand short serve at an advanced level. A high and slow forehand serve in doubles is suicide.
For 95% of players, it's the better option to serve high in singles. Mainly short serves in doubles is obv.
I take it that this is for Singles, and level is beginner? It may work at that level. Other than that, a high serve shouldn't be aimed/placed to the side, forehand or backhand. This is because the height of the serve doesn't create any movement pressure. Opponent has a lot of time to move back, even though he stands closer to the forehand side in your example. Instead, this serve placement gives away the angle of attack. Opponent can play fast clear/drop straight, or cross-court fast drop, causing the server more problem than if the serve is more centralized. You can look up badmintonBible.com for an article on this topic.
I agree with this... Or at least you can vary your serve. Mostly high, some short. To serve only low, you must be quite a good player. It can be a fine line. Some singles-players like to serve short but doesn't realize they get put under a lot of pressure from the return. A steady high and deep serve will most likely not put under the pressure from the onset
If the opponent is a beginner, they have difficulty hitting any shuttle above their head. Have you tried it?
In singles, high serve all the way to the back tramlines, and also aimed toward center. In doubles, low backhand serve towards the middle or towards the receiver.
