SERVES IN BADMINTON

1. LOW SERVE

 The low serve is played gently over the net to land at the front of your
opponent’s service court, near the short service line. It’s important that this
serve passes low over the net (hence the name low serve).

 The low serve is used in both singles and doubles. In doubles, the low serve
is used more frequently than
any other serve.

2. HIGH SERVE

 The high serve is played

powerfully upwards, so that the
shuttlecock travels very high
and falls almost vertically
downwards at the back of the
receiver’s service court. High
serves are used frequently in
singles, but never in doubles (at
a high standard of play).

 The high serve can only be

played with a forehand action.
Unlike the other three serves,
you just won’t get enough
power from a backhand to play
a good high serve.

3. FLICK SERVE

 The flick serve is also played upwards, but much more shallowly than the
high serve. The idea is to deprive the opponent of time, forcing him to hit
the shuttlecock when it’s behind his body.
 Flick serves are used extensively in doubles, and occasionally in singles.

4. DRIVE SERVE

 The drive serve is played flat and fast towards the back of the receiver’s
service court, passing low over the net. The idea is to provoke an immediate
reaction, hoping that the receiver will mishit the shuttlecock. Drive serves
 PHYSICAL EDUCATION 3
Individual /Dual Sports
are a gamble: if your opponent is too slow, then you will win the point
immediately; but if he reacts quickly enough, then you are likely to lose.
 Drive serves are almost never used by professional players, because their
opponents are quick enough to counter-attack the serve consistently. At low
levels of play, drive serves are used extensively by competitive players,
because many opponents are unable to handle them.
 In particular, drive serves are favored by strong junior players (around the
age of 13), who enjoy getting cheap points. Drive serves are mainly used in
doubles, because the receiver stands farther forwards than in singles.
