How to Improve Your Badminton Serve

Improving your badminton serve involves refining technique, enhancing consistency, and increasing power. Here are some key strategies derived from various discussions:

Technique Refinement

One of the most important aspects of improving your serve is refining your technique. This includes bending your knees, coiling more, and transferring your weight effectively into the serve [1:1][2:1]. Practicing a throwing motion, similar to throwing a baseball, can help you develop the correct technique by focusing on elements such as weight transfer and follow-through [1:3].

Power and Speed

To increase the speed of your serve, focus on flattening your serve and incorporating more leg power [1:2][1:5]. Jumping and swinging faster can also contribute to a more powerful serve [1:6]. Additionally, using your wrist effectively through supination and pronation can open up more shot types and add speed to your serve [2:2].

Consistency

Improving the consistency of your serve can be achieved by focusing on the toss and ensuring it is consistent [3:3]. Practicing drills that emphasize hitting the ball at a higher point and maintaining control over the racket can also help improve consistency [3:4]. Relaxing during the serve and maintaining a smooth motion can prevent tightening up and enhance consistency [2:4].

Body Position and Movement

Your body position and movement during the serve are crucial for both power and accuracy. Ensuring your body is turned sideways and coiled properly can help generate more power [4:1][4:3]. Keeping your left arm up longer and using it to initiate the motion of your right hand can also improve your serve's effectiveness [4:2].

By focusing on these areas, you can work towards developing a more powerful, consistent, and effective badminton serve. Regular practice and attention to detail in each aspect will contribute significantly to your improvement.

Flatten your serve probably, I mean aside from practice if you want more speed on your serve maybe don’t throw a kick

Also bend your knees, coil more, toss more forward, explode more into it, and drop your racket behind your head more by throwing your elbow into your serve before your hand

Ambitious_Age_8620 · 8 months ago

can I advise you to do this

  1. throw a baseball for a few days - identifying the correct throwing technique

  2. then serve against a wall and monitor your power and consistency

  3. then go to a court and focus on the elements from throwing a baseball

stand tall - elbow up - weight transfer and follow through

then add wrist snap which will help you do every serve you need.

you have the elements there - but they are not currently all working together - to give you maximum power

You weight isn't going into the serve. Look a an ATP in slow motion, they head into the court behind the serve, you land to one side. Which means your weight isn't being transferred into the shot.

My serve is pretty good at the 4.0 level when it’s on but there are days where I just can’t get it over the net.

I’ve been told I need to load my legs more, let the racket drop, and lean into the court. Can anyone give me some cues that can help me get a more consistent (and potentially more powerful) serve?? Thanks!

It looks like you have very little margin on you serve, you hit both serves exactly the same way. You are somewhat slicing the ball and not much wrist movement. So your focus needs to be on supenationa and pronation. Using your wrist the right way will open up a lot more shot types, plus a kick serve too.

Kick second serves will give you more margin and you can achieve 0% faults with a good serve-speed.

A great drill to get a more powerful serve is to serve from your own serviceline and hit it normally: you'll need to hit down a lot, use your wrist a lot more. That a great way to feel what you need to generate power.

Hello, it’s me again. Serve is the most complicated skill in tennis. God. Somedays i got 9 flat serve one by one in a good speed, and sometimes i get double faults 7 times.

Is something about practice? try and try and try? I can do it, i love this, but i don’t want to spend time doing something bad. How do you see my motion? any tip?

you see a better toss compared to the others in this video?

Pretty good motion and weight transfer. Try to keep the racket on edge toward the ball as if you were gonna hit it with the side of your racket, then pronate at the last second right before contact. Toss is inconsistent. Try to toss it more into the court for a flat serve.

Toss the ball a bit closer, so you can hit it a higher point and land after you hit. It will also help pronation at right time, you are pronating too early.

You need to work on controlling the racket. Isolate the swing. At this point the racket should still be on edge. Practice with out driving up in to the ball, and try and wait, then pronate on the ball. Also you've spent your energy early here.

bilingualwhale · 20 days ago

This is looking pretty good; don't get down on yourself.

Try tossing closer to the baseline. You load your legs, and then you kind of fall forward into the court. Whatever energy you are storing in your legs is going forward and not up, and that may be because the toss is a little too forward into the court. My guess is that when you miss, you are missing into the net. Think of the serve as a throwing motion "up" to the contact point.

Also, to get a little more power, tuck your tossing arm into your belly as you swing upwards rather than letting it flail to the side.

How's my Serve?

Posted by Downtown-Course-3859 · in r/10s · 3 months ago
post image

Hello, amateur coaches of r/10s! Over the past couple of years, I've put a ton of work into my serve. I can place it, spin it, and its relatively consistent and powerful for my level (4.0). However, I never actually filmed myself, I went purely by feel. Now that I have some footage, I'm a bit alarmed, its definitely not what I pictured I looked like, and it turns out I foot fault like crazy. I figure that if I can be effective with suboptimal technique, if I cleaned up my technique, my serve might become a real weapon, and might open the door to being competitive at 4.5. Any suggestions on where I might get the biggest bang for my buck in terms of improvement?

I would say you are serving at 80mph ish, but you can reach 100-110 if you work on these points since you look strong and fit :

  1. stay more side way , your right foot came in front of the left ( and foot fault attention to that ) and your hips are just facing forward. You need to keep your right foot behind the left when you load so your hips are sideway .
  2. use your legs more and jump toward the ball, right now you are hitting with minimal height

3)keep the left hand up longer and use it to initiate the motion of the right hand. Your left arm is used to keep your spine up until you snap forward but also to give you angular momentum and bring your right hand faster forward

You're very front on for your serve. You need to turn your body and coil more. It'll probably throw out the rhythm of your serve whilst you do it. Still, you seem to get some reasonable power with it, so it could become a weapon if you clean everything up.

Downtown-Course-3859 · OP · 3 months ago

Thanks for the input! I'm actually taking a closer look at the coil. My shoulders are coiled relative to my hips, but my hips are almost pointed 45degrees towards the net post during my trophy position, when they should probably be facing the side fence. It looks like when I strike the ball I am fully square to the net, because my hips turn towards the target, and everything else follows.

Fixing this will definitely be a journey! I guess I have a new "technique" goal for the summer!

neobard · 3 months ago

Coil isn't helped by the fact your right foot comes up beside your left, instead of behind it, which causes your hips to open too early. Coil much more and place foot behind, then bend and jump and open up and into the court.

BeginningMacaroon957 · 1 month ago

Overall it looks really good. As long as your serves are in, consistent, and with pace you dont need to change much of anything. That only things I can nit pick would be your left arm could be tucked a little more after so it isn't flailing around, you over rotate just a tad but not much at all when loading. The last thing would be that your right arm is a bit stiff. Maybe try loosing up your wrist a bit.

WalrusPoo02 · 4 years ago

I’m assuming you have limited space behind the serving line and that’s why you’re taking a two step approach. That’s completely fine but make sure to really bring back your arms and make the most out of those steps.

As for the actual swing, your hips are in a good spot and rotating forward, so make sure you really rotate your upper body back and get a nice shoulder hip separation. This allows your body to be loaded and ready to generate torque as you rotate your core into your arm swing. Right now you’re swinging mostly with your shoulder which minimizes your arm swing speed and also hurts your shoulder.

Here’s a video that shows a good example of shoulder hip separation. See how his upper body is drawn back while his hips are rotated forward. You’re going to feel your core stretching as you do this, and once you release this stretch by rotating your core, it leads to a faster and safer arm swing.

WalrusPoo02 · 4 years ago

I think your timing is fine, but if you’re trying to do a jump top then you need to put topspin on your serve. Here’s another video on how to toss correctly and consistently as well as some drills to practice your toss.

I’d recommend keeping your toss at the same height and distance because you’re taking a two step approach, just add that spin and you’re golden. Remember to always keep the ball in front of you and not behind you.

therealslimthiccc · 4 years ago

If you're trying to topspin this is the correct approach however topspin serves are really easy to pass and you need to actually put spin on the ball when you toss it. If you're float serving it should be a much smaller toss and a much quicker approach (one step both feet land and jump). You don't need to jump that high to serve unless you need to be on top of the ball

A consistent toss is the most important part of your serve. So do practice your service toss at home, consistent height and position while moving your feet to the pinpoint position if that is your preference.

As a beginner take your racket back to the trophy position to hide your intent. Do not change your grip, stay hammer grip.

photoman02122 · 6 months ago

Practice your ball toss by putting your racket on the ground and tossing the ball and aim for the strings.

Work on visualization. Also pick a pro who you want to emulate and watch their practice sessions or matches whenever you can.

Grab a towel and roll it to about the length of your racket. Put a few rubber bands around the towel. Now practice your service motion and try to keep the momentum going so the towel doesn't drop.

Throw a ball with your service hand to help you with strength and flexibility.

Practice your service motion focusing on just your legs. Really work on exploding and rotating up to the ball.

Look up stretches for drummers and practice your wrist flexibility and strength to help with your wrist snap.

Won’t be anywhere as good as actual serve practice unfortunately but

  1. Practice your toss a bunch
  2. Hang a ball from a string attached to something so ball rests about where contact point should be. Just practice your form to slowly contacting that ball
  3. Shadow swings

Pro tip: find a tall wall (perhaps the side of a large building) and pound overheads into the ground, which will accentuate the wrist snap motion for both serve and overhead. This will build muscle memory and deliver heavier and more consistent serves.

Status-Courage7047 · 6 months ago

Agreed! For most players, their feet/legs/hips are often in the incorrect position during the service motion...BUT overheads will not allow for incorrect form. The overhead motion helps create not only more power, but also correct mechanics.

I remember doing this drill during my college playing days, and honestly, I don't think I could've ever won a futures/ITF level match without the service refinement. This drill seemed to have added an extra 5-7mph...To me, it was essential.

Yes sir, bounce the ball into the ground, and then ricochet the ball off of the wall. It should look/feel like an an overhead, but the continuous drill will do more for serve than any other practice....also, you should accentuate the wrist snap as much as possible for added power and movement.

Here's a link of a mid-level pro practicing this drill (though he really needs a wall).

The main thing I see is you’re waiting too long to hit the ball.

The ball is at max height at 0:12 and starts dropping around the 0:13 mark.

You should try to jump into and accelerate through the ball as soon as it starts coming back down. If you make a point to hit it at max height or close to max height every time, it’ll help with your consistency.

Keep your arm extended after the release as well. It will help with positioning so you’re staying forward and your hip is over the baseline instead of falling backwards away from the ball after the toss.

Hope that helps!

Dimitris-ra · 6 months ago

Your technique looks great for a recreational player. The first and most important thing that I would change is trying to jump forward and land inside the baseline. This way you will get more power.

The way to do that is to coil a little bit more when you’re bending your knees. Think of your right hip turning a little bit more towards the back.

I suggest watch Federer videos and focus on the hips area while he’s going in the trophy pose and realising forwards.

You’re only pushing off with only your right leg, see how your right foot has already left the ground but your left foot is still on it. This results in a myriad of issues, but the biggest ones are bad weight transfer, which is also related how you’re not uncoiling your body, just rotating and opening up shoulder. You’re also holding onto the racket head a little bit too much, just let it go. There are other issues as well, but I imagine they’ll probably be fixed if you fix the two main issues listed

Good comments above. It is POSSIBLE that you are rotating your hips too early, which causes the right leg concern, and also leads to you falling to the left on some of these serves. If you are falling left, you are losing power, probably. Same outcome from rotating hips around too early. But...no guarantee this is it.

jered_ · 3 years ago

Pretty good serve! I see two big things that could improve accuracy and reliability that have to do with your toss.

  1. Balance. You fade off to the left in your follow through which robs you of power and accuracy. Make sure your toss is going into the court so you can “go get it” and finish stepping forward.

  2. Toss height (or contact height). You have a short toss (which can be ok e.g. Kyrgios) but you let it drop too far most times. Hit at the apex or increase your toss height so you can comfortably extend fully up and through the contact point.

I struggle with bad tosses too sometimes so I recognized this right away. Your serve is respectable though. The serves I see all the way to 4.0 usually don’t look nearly so good.

I mean every ball was in but i'd say def work on your footwork. I'm not sure if it's an acceptable way but why you'd want to bring your right leg back from the behind RIGHT next to your left leg in the trophy position so your stance is super narrow when you start the swing and generate all of the power. Naturally an even shoulder to shoulder - wide balanced stance would be the preferred form for the serve.. There's just something off about the lean back and the movement of your right leg before contact.

Trickiest_Shrimp · 3 years ago

That's not a bad thing (bringing your feet together). You can start with a wide base on rock and then bring feet together before deload. It's all preference, but the big difference is not one serve I saw is he falling into the court (towards the path of the ball). He needs to move towards the serve on the jump instead of away or to the left. Landing in the court and landing in the court TOWARDS where your ball lands are different things. Also, kick, flat, and slice serves will change how your body position is.

I have/had almost this same motion at the height of my career and serve was the biggest weapon. Former 5.0-5.5 competitor.

Currently a 4.0 cause I'm over 30 haven't played in 10years and have two kids and have gained 50 lbs lol ...but my serve is noticably still above and beyond all my competitors. Point is you can make this motion a weapon with some tweaking. You already seem to do it naturally so instead of fighting your body learn to tweak it and work with it.

Work on your rocking motion, and put more weight on your back foot when rocking back, you also have something called a racket leak on your serve, go ahead and look that up on you tube it should show you how to fix it and also fix your toss. Toss in front of your left eye or a little to the right of it in front of the baseline so that when you jump towards the ball your body lands fully in front of you and not diagonally to the left or in the same spot which I saw a lot of in the video

Also on your rocking motion none of your knees should be bent, they should be straight out and your rocking from the toes of your front foot to the balls of your back foot, you only bend your knees once you put your feet together and coil as you get ready to jump into the ball

Yep also looking back at the video i missed something, when you drop your racket you only drop it using your wrist. For example pretend you are trying to scratch your back, your elbow points up and your forearm and your wrist are both behind your back becuase thats the only way your hand reaches. That is the exact position you should be trying to achieve on the racket drop, you are putting a lot of stress on your shoulder and it might lead to injury

Key Considerations for Improving Your Badminton Serve

  1. Grip Technique:

    • Use the correct grip (forehand or backhand) depending on the type of serve. A relaxed grip allows for better control and power.
  2. Stance and Positioning:

    • Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent. Position yourself behind the service line to give yourself room to swing.
  3. Ball Toss:

    • For a high serve, toss the shuttlecock slightly in front of you and at a height that allows you to hit it at the highest point. For a low serve, keep the toss lower and closer to your body.
  4. Swing Motion:

    • Use a smooth, controlled swing. For a high serve, aim to hit the shuttlecock at the peak of your toss with an upward motion. For a low serve, strike the shuttlecock gently with a flicking motion.
  5. Follow Through:

    • Ensure you follow through after hitting the shuttlecock. This helps with accuracy and can add power to your serve.
  6. Practice Different Serves:

    • Work on various types of serves (high, low, flick) to keep your opponent guessing. Practice consistently to develop muscle memory.

Recommendations:

  • Video Analysis: Record your serves and analyze your technique. Look for areas to improve, such as grip, toss height, and follow-through.
  • Drills: Incorporate specific serving drills into your practice routine. For example, practice serving to specific areas of the court to enhance accuracy.
  • Feedback: Consider working with a coach or experienced player who can provide constructive feedback on your technique.

By focusing on these aspects and practicing regularly, you'll see improvement in your badminton serve!
