Smash at hand cupping the back lob
Smash kop lob
Swinging a racket set
Moving forward and backward
Trained in the kitchen cooking rice
And banging on the mattress

Badminton is everywhere
In the villages and in the city
Badminton for like-like
Pushing sideways racket
Slid from the left
Taxable net broken feather shuttlecock
Acting like children
Replacing regular racket
Reciprocate
In the kitchen practicing cooking rice

Regarding Service in Sports Badminton

Regarding Service in Sports Badminton. If the analogy with restaurant business, service in badminton is a waiter in a restaurant. Good steward will certainly provide a good service and receive a good tip anyway. Similarly, in badminton, a good service will certainly give you a good chance to score and win the game. So, how to do good service in badminton is it ? To perform the legal service or authorized by the referee, in contact with the shuttlecock must be carried below the waist and stalk racket should be facing down. The entire racquet head should be visible at the bottom of each section before hitting the ball racquet handle. Still confused ? Well, the following authors will describe in detail about everything related to the service, including how to perform a good service in badminton.

Service That Important

Service is done below the waist (service underhand) is why I put in the game at the start of each rally will be done. Thus, the service is the single most important punch in badminton. It would be very difficult for any player to get consistent numbers without being able to do a good service. In addition, the service is also used for fishing friend did punch in training exercises. Long service is the basic service can a badminton player. Service is directing really high and far, and tried to be really should have turned around and dropped as near as possible to the rear boundary. Thus, the ball far delivered service will be difficult to predict and restored so that all returns will be less effective opponent.

Short service and low is the most frequent service or used in double part. This is because the field service for the doubles size of 30 inches shorter and 18 inches wider than the single-party field service. Yes, the short service is a technique that is considered the most effective service to be done in the doubles. This service can be done by both the forehead and backhand. Variations in service other responsibilities that often do is service drive and flick. This service is a good alternative because it is able to make opponents have little time to act to return the shuttlecock, which can result in a faster rate. However, a second service was beaten to the top and a player must use the service for a surprise, in other words not expected opponent.

Kinds of Service

Service in badminton consists of several kinds, among which are a short service and length of service. The following will be discussed about the two kinds of service is and how to do it.

1. Long Service

One type of service is usually done in badminton is the service term. Long service similar to a rocking motion on forehead blow under head. A player should stand close to the mid line and approximately 4 to 5 feet behind the short service line. This position puts a player close to the center of the field and is roughly equidistant to all points of the field.

Once the position of the player deemed fit, one of the feet of a player must be brought to the front with the dominant hand should control anyway at the base, extended to the front of the body at about waist height. Hold the hand holding the racket in the back swing position (swing back) with the hand and wrist in a bent position. After thoroughly prepared, immediately do the long service earlier.

2. Service Short

Prepare to perform a short service when they wanted to do as well as long service. The only exception was a player should stand closer to the short service line, approximately within 6 inches (about 15 cm). the hand holding the racket should be in the back swing position, with hands and wrists are bent.

When a player releases anyway, remove the weight from the back foot to the front foot, and then pull the hand down to make contact with the shuttlecock below waist height. However, when the hand holding the racket forward toward the front, wrist movement is little or no move at all. This is because why would only be driven over the net instead of being hit. The movement eventually racket pointing up and straight to the service.

Preparing for blow and how to Restore Service


After the kind of service, it is time to know how to prepare for a punch and how to restore service. Although the service is the first step to do to get the numbers, but sometimes we can lose points and be receiving service from the opponent. To that end, the discussion this time was not as important as service.

1. Get ready Dealing Blow

If a player is in the ready position, then the player must always pay attention to why the left racket opponent and had to wait for it over the net anyway. Usually players who perform service will put the shuttlecock toward the sideline and rarely placed in the direction of the player. One way to achieve it is to do a really small jump, drag, or launching distance towards the position to hit. A player should try to always return to the pitch after a stroke.

It is important for a player to not move when the opponent hits the ball because it's easier to move when you're standing up straight instead of changing direction while moving. Currently preparing to hit the opponent anyway, note racket. Focus on why and wait until a player will place anyway to make sure which side. Having ascertained why leads to one side, then we make a move to return the ball.

2. How to Restore Service

Return of service is very important because it really is returned will determine the success of the opponents score. Refunds good ball gives little chance to the opponent to return the shuttlecock is well again anyway. In other words, the return will either hit your opponent to make a mistake return anyway. Even if true, the return will usually weak opponent anyway.

Refunds why would a player should open the field and reduce the possibility of the opposite corners to return the ball. In addition, a player must also have as much time as possible, while opponents have as little as possible. Yes, the return of service is considered good if it can suppress or marginalize opponent. Back service on a single party should be directed to the four corners of the field. Service must make the opponent moves into the distance as far as possible.

By contrast, the return of service on the doubles. Returns service on the doubles more emphasis on deceptive movement. Any refund of the ball should be directed to the bottom if possible and should force the opponent to return the ball high, even responsibility. If returns are high or responsibility will help us turning off your opponent by giving him a blow smash.

Well, that's a glimpse of the discussion on service and movements in it that should be done in the sport of badminton. Good service will allow us to collect points and win the game. Good luck.
