What are the methods of serving badminton?

The basic skills of badminton can be divided into forehand serve and backhand serve according to the action structure. According to the flight curve of the ball, these two methods can serve high ball, flat ball, flat fastball, chase ball and net ball.

Badminton forehand serve technique

(1) Stop: Stand near the center line when serving singles, about 1 m away from the front service line. When serving doubles, move forward a little, usually close to the front serve line, so as to seal the net in the next shot.

(2) Serve preparation posture: the left shoulder is facing the net, the left foot is in front, and the toes are facing the serve direction. Right foot behind, toes slightly turned to the right. Feet naturally open shoulder width, and the body center of gravity falls on the right foot. Hold the racket back with your right hand and put your left hand in front of your chest and abdomen. Gently hold the joint between the racket and badminton with your thumb, forefinger, middle finger and palm, and look at each other.

When serving, the left hand naturally releases to make the ball fall smoothly, while the right hand holds the racket and gradually accelerates the swing forward, down and forward. At the same time, the body rotates to the left with the swing, the center of gravity of the body moves forward from the right foot to the left foot, and the heel of the right foot is slightly lifted (but the toes cannot leave the ground) to maintain the balance of the body. The hitting point should be below the waist in front of the right side of the body.

No matter what kind of arc and landing point the serve is, in the early stage of action preparation and swing, try to make the action consistent, so that it is difficult for the other side to judge your landing point and intention. The key to the difference between the service arc and the landing point lies in the different angle between the racket and the ground at the moment of hitting the ball, the magnitude of the force and the contact position between the ball and the racket.

When serving a long high ball, the elevation angle between the racket face and the ground is generally greater than 45 degrees, while the flat high ball and the flat fastball are smaller. When the swing is about to touch the ball, the forearm drives the wrist to "flash" forward and upward, and at the same time holds the racket tightly (the racket must be released before this), bending the wrist to hit the ball explosively.

When serving in front of the net, it is not necessary to hold the racket tightly at the moment when it touches the ball. At this time, the racket face should be tilted backwards and pushed horizontally from right to left. The contact part between the racket face and the ball should try to touch the ball holder first and then the feather, so as to improve the quality of the ball.

Badminton backhand serve technique

It refers to a service action method of hitting the ball with a swing in front of the left side of the body. It is characterized by small action range, fast speed and strong consistency, but its strength is not as great as that of forehand service, and it is difficult to master it. Generally used in doubles.

(1) station: near the center line of the front serve line, the right foot is in front and the upper body leans forward slightly; The center of gravity of the body falls on the front foot and faces the service direction.

(2) Preparation posture: Hold the ball with the thumb and forefinger of the left hand close to the feather on one side of the body, hold the ball horizontally (make the ball holder point to the right side of the body) and place it below the front waist of the abdomen. The right hand adopts the backhand grip method, the grip moves forward to the front of the handle and the racket face leans back. Right shoulder abduction, elbow flexion, wrist natural droop, put the racket on the left side of your body.

When hitting the ball, use your arm to drive your wrist and fingers to exert force, and swing from left back down to right front up.

When serving the backhand net, swing slowly, don't hold it too tightly at the moment of hitting the ball, pay attention to the coordination of swing and release, don't release the ball too early, and "cut" the ball socket and feather almost at the same time. In order to make the ball fall immediately after crossing the net and make it difficult for the opponent to receive the service, you can also use the method of pulling and swinging the ball from bottom left to top front.

When the backhand serves a flat fastball and a flat lob, it is necessary to speed up the swing, emphasize the "wrist swing" and finally hit the ball explosively, try to keep consistent with the ball before serving into the net, don't pull back too much, and expand the range of action. When hitting the ball, the racket face can swing forward slightly.

Badminton receiving technique

(1) Station: In singles, you usually stand about 1.5 meters away from the front service line (it can be adjusted according to your own height and your opponent's service characteristics). When serving from the right tee, you should stand closer to the center line, and when serving from the left tee, it is best to stand in the middle of the left tee (the opposite is true for left-handed players). When doubles receive the service, the service area of doubles is 0.76m shorter than that of singles, and it is generally unfavorable for the server to serve high and long balls. In the game, the ball in front of the serve net and the fastball are usually the main ones. We should grab the high point forward and hit the ball downward or horizontally in order to gain the initiative. Players with high stature and quick reaction can stand next to the front service line.

(2) Preparation posture: the body side is facing the net, the left foot is in front and the right foot is behind, and the feet are naturally open. When the body is single, the center of gravity falls on the left foot, the heel of the right foot naturally rises, and the knees are slightly flexed. Squat down a little when serving doubles, and the center of gravity can be adjusted according to the direction of attention, including holding out the chest and abdomen, naturally raising the arm, holding the racket in front of you and staring at the opponent.

Badminton Backcourt Hitting Technique

Use the techniques of high-ball, drop-ball, kill-ball and low-hand draw to hit the ball that falls on the near-end line of one's own court to the other's court.

This paper mainly introduces the hitting skills of backcourt masters. From the point of view of technical action, the methods of hitting the ball by the backcourt master are forehand hitting, backhand hitting and overhead hitting. These three hitting methods can be used to hit golf, golf and smash respectively.

High forehand lob technique in badminton backcourt

The hitting method of hitting the ball near the end line of the opponent's backcourt and hitting it back over the head of the opponent's backcourt and the hitting method of hitting it back over the head of the opponent's backcourt are collectively called golf (or pulling the ball). Its different flight arcs. Usually, a relatively straight ball is called a flat high ball, and vice versa.

Before hitting the ball, the body half faces the net, with the right foot behind and the left foot in front. Two toes stand on tiptoe and the center of gravity falls on the palm of your right foot. Hold the racket in the forehand with your right hand, lift the racket above your right shoulder with your naturally bent arm, lift it naturally with your left hand, and keep your eyes on the incoming ball. When the ball is about to fall to the height of the hitting point, the right leg begins to push and stretch, and the hip joint drives the body to rotate from right to left, making a cross-legged action of the left leg retreating and the right leg forward. With the lower limbs pedaling to the ground, the chest relaxes, the shoulders on both sides abduct, the left hand naturally rises, the forearm of the grip arm moves backward, the elbow is kept high and the body is inverted.

When the body turns to the hitting direction and the ball falls to the height of the appropriate hitting point, under the coordination of waist and abdomen, the big arm drives the small arm to swing the arm forward and upward to hit the ball by using the strength of elbow extension, forearm pronation and wrist flexion. At the moment when the ball touches the racket, quickly grip the racket and hit the ball.

The key to the difference between flat ball and high ball is the different angle between the racket face and the ground at the moment of hitting the ball. That is to say, when hitting the ball, the upward force is high dribble, and the forward force is flat high ball.

The key to mastering the forehand golf technique is:

(1) The whole body movements should be coordinated, mainly relying on the big arm to drive the small arm to hit the ball with the "whip method".

(2) Hold the racket at the moment of hitting the ball, otherwise the key wrist movements are limited.

(3) Grasp the timing of hitting the ball, and the appropriate hitting point should be above the right shoulder.
