How to Hit a High, Deep Serve in Badminton

Video Transcript

"I am going to describe the deep underhand serve. This serve is essentially done in the game of singles. As for every serve it is made from a service quadrant to the quadrant which is diagonally opposed in the other side of the net. The position I prefer to take for this serve is probably about two foot behind the service line. This gives me a lot of latitude with respect to the single service line on the opposite side of the net. As for every serve, underhand serve you start with your weight on your back leg which is your racket leg. Your hand is up high and as you hit the shuttle you will shift your weight from your back leg to your front leg, make sure that you do not step into the serve or make sure that you do not drag your feet during the serve. These are faults in the game of badminton. Both feet have to be on the ground during the service. You can rock on your feet but you cannot drag or step. Again one starts with the arm high and you swing the racket with little wrist, just the arm and the impact happens about here and you finish the shot by wrapping your arm over your head."
