Serving a Bird: Under Hand Serve: Use this badminton serve during singles play to move your opponent as far back in court as possible, thus opening up his court. Be more cautious if you use this serve during doubles. Opponents with strong attacking abilities will work this serve to your disadvantage. Played with a forehand underarm action. Relax your body and bent your knees slightly. Lead with your non-racket leg and place your racket leg behind. Bring your racket back to almost your shoulder level then swing it forward following the rhythm of the stroke. Hold the shuttle by the feathers and let it drop slightly in front of you. Hit it with the flat face of your racket and follow through until your racket reaches the

non-racket side of your head. Over Head Serve: Use this badminton serve to add some variation to your serving game. This is considered an attacking serve and can be used in singles and doubles. The shuttle will travel at a flatter angle pass the net with pace. It may win you points outright or force a poor service return if your opponent is unprepared. However, make sure you contact the shuttle below your waist and not make a service fault Played with forehand overhand action. Stand in a comfortable and balanced position, a bit further from the service line. Lead with your non-racket leg and place your racket leg behind. Throw the bird up and bring your racket above your head. Swing the racket forward following through. Hit the shuttle and let it pass the net at a flatter angle. Hitting the Bird: Forehand Grip: This grip is used to hit shots that are on the forehand side of your body and around the headshots. Hold the racket head with your non-playing hand so that the handle points towards you. Your racket face shall be perpendicular to the floor. Place your playing hand on the handle as if you are shaking hands with it. There shall be a V shape in between your thumb and your index finger. The racket handle shall rest loosely in your fingers for greater flexibility. Can try shortening your grip and place it nearer to the shaft to increase control and accuracy when serving and hitting from the forecourt and midcourt. Backhand Grip: This grip is used to hit shots that are on the backhand side of your body. Hold the racket as you would on a forehand grip. Turn the racket anti-clockwise so that the V shape moves leftwards. Place your thumb against the back bevel of the handle for greater leverage and power. The racket handle shall also rest loosely in your fingers. Can try shortening your grip and place it nearer to the shaft to increase control and accuracy when serving and hitting from the forecourt and midcourt.
