Hello, I am Lee thanks for coming

in this video I will demonstrate

how to do low service

backhand low service in doubles

in doubles and mixed doubles also singles

if a player have not got confidence

in their service then difficult to be a winner

because their mind will be there

rather than making rallies

and making tactics for the opponent

so, its crucially important to have a solid

big confidence in service

I will explain one by one

number 1 - how to hold the shuttle cock

there are number of different ways

in holding the shuttle cock

the one, using two fingers on 1 feather

or hold feather together like this

its all depending on the way of a player in service

in my view

personally I like to hold the shuttle cock

by using two fingers, thumb and second finger

one feather hold

like this

and the other 3 fingers gently stretched

rather than bending

because if fingers are bent like that

then it likely hit my racket

so they let shuttle go too early

which is not good for controlling the shuttle cock

so, using 2 fingers, hold 1 feather

3 fingers gently stretched

second important thing here

the shuttle cock will be better to point

about the knee angle

rather than point the floor

if the shuttle cock is pointing the floor like this

then it will likely go upward

which opponent can attack

but if shuttle cock is pointing that way

then because of the weight of the shuttle cock

that will fly flatter like this

big difference

and then serve

the feet position, some they do side by side

like this

some left foot forward, some right foot forward

my personal opinion it really does not matter

more important thing is after the shot be ready

is more important

at this moment, I don't have clear reason

why a player should put their feet side by side

or right or left forward

I don't have any reason for that yet

so, feet choose any way you are comfortable with

ok, hold shuttle

now put the shuttle away from the body

because you need some room to make the movement

now, how to hold the racket

it will be better to hold the shorter grip

rather than longer grip

longer grip, its difficult to make flick

its easier to use with shorter grip

the thumb should be already lied there

so they can use the power of fingers

when they flick or they can use it when they do low service

they can push little bit gently

by the fingers

so ready together

and then the racket will go little bit backward my wrist

rather than my arm

if a player using their arm like this

then its difficult to control it

stay still here and use more wrist

how to hit the shuttle cock

push will be better, gently

gently push

rather than

hit

when they hit, its difficult to control

difficult to make good accuracy

gently back, and gently push

in this way, push way

shuttle will fly better way

nice and flat way

if you are tall player then it will be better to stay

very close to the service line

because you are tall, you can still make flat service

but if you are little bit smaller

then standing this close to the line will be not good idea

because if you stay this close and when

if you are smaller player like this

it will go up way

so opponent can attack it

if you are small

then its better to stay little bit further back

so you have more flying distance

which you can make flatter service

and now, little bit more advanced service

there is 'T' and there is corner

personally it will be better to serve 7 or 8 serves to the 'T'

and then may be 1 or 2 or 3 go to the corner

because 'T' will be good, because flying time is shorter

and opponents they don't have good angle to attack

but they do from the corner

but some times

this player should be able to make surprise corner service

to do that this is the tip

ready

shuttle is straighted

yeah from that side, if you see that

shuttle is straighted like that

and then if you serve like this shuttle will fly straight

but

in order to serve that corner from here to over there

then you can turn your shuttle cock little bit side ways

not when you are ready, like this

because they can see it

opponent can see what you are doing

so, stay like this and then when you are making impact

you turn your shuttle cock as well as your racket angle

so the shuttle goes to the other side

have a look

slowly like this and then turn and hit it

so shuttle goes that way

ok now ready

so, normal ready and then turn it

ready

turn

service deceptive

one more please

if you do that your opponent will not be ready for the 'T' only

he has to be ready for both ways

which in order to make your opponent start slower

from the other side

you can, in this way from here to that corner

you have to move your wrist little bit

not straight forward

you do that and then you change your angle

that will be exactly the same

but at the impact change it

so its deceptive

next one, the advanced

in a way it can make some mistakes

some top players they do that way

their racket angle goes that way

instead of vertical they do that

and then they slice it

they cut it from here to that way

like that

from here like this

so it generates more spin

have a look please, here

from here slice it

like this

and some people they hold like that

and they slice that way

so on the move shuttle will little bit shakes

which makes opponent difficult to return

but remember

most important thing in service is no mistake

safe service will be the bests service

rather than fancy and difficult service

because as there is more difficulty for opponent

in the other way there is higher possibility to make mistake

most important things in having a good service is

is the belief in your service

when you serve

please believe your service

rather than afraid of opponent attack

it does not matter what sought of technique

and how much practice you do

if you do that type of practice without your belief

then the time will be wasted and there is no improvement can be made

because, how?

if you don't believe there is no result

so, does not matter how fast the opponent is

as long as you do good flat service

your opponent cannot attack it

so, do believe in your service

thank you
