VIDEOS ON SERVING

For a better understanding of the serve mechanics, check out the following videos on You Tube:

1. Low backhand serve: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iinFT878Zs

2. Low forehand serve: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAwKKcG48H4

In viewing these videos, you may notice a little variation from what I said in my post "Serving to win," but the differences aren't that many. The variation usually comes in the style or preference of a particular player. Always remember that there are no absolute rules in the way things are done in badminton; there are only the basics. Beyond these basics, individual preferences may come in, which would account for the differences in the execution of the movements. So don't get confused.
