inside of the thumb joint to the pad of the index finger between the knuckle
and the first joint |

 | everyone do it two times |
 | 10 minutes |
Activity #3

High Serve
 | the aim of the high
serve is to force your opponent back in court and to blunt his/her attack. |
 | to play the shot stand sideways on with your left shoulder and foot
pointing into the diagonally opposite court |
 | by way of preparation, hold the shuttle, between thumb and forefinger,
with outstretched arm and shoulder height, so that if dropped it would fall
a foot outside your leading foot, the left one |
 | sway backwards so that your weight is on the back foot |
 | with arm bent and wrist cocked, the racket is held up almost vertically
behind and to the right of your thigh |
 | choose your target area, then simply open thumb and forefinger to allow
the shuttle to drop straight, sweeping the racket down to meet it, with the
heel of the hand leading, the arm straightening, the body turning square to
the net, and the knees bending slightly |
 | practice with your partner (cross-court) |
 | 10 minutes |
1) The low serve
2) The Drive Serve
3) The Flick serve
4) High serve
5) Very high serve
Activity #4

The Low Serve
 | the aim of the low serve is to strike the shuttle with the flattest possible trajectory
so that it starts to drop just before crossing and literally skimming the
tape and therefore cannot be hit down |
 | as with the high serve, stand sideways on, facing the receiver diagonally |
 | left foot and shoulder forward, stand tall, weight slightly on the back
foot |
 | hold the shuttle's skirt at the top between forefinger and thumb with arm
bent so that when released the shuttle will drop just to the right of your
leading foot |
 | place the racket, pointing downwards, just to thigh |
 | no power is needed so a longer back swing is not required |
 | bend the arm as far as you comfortably can to bring he racket-head up
vertically as high as possible (this will give you a flatter trajectory) |
 | and the wrist is firstly cocked back - and kept cocked back throughout
the shot! |
 | practice with your partner (cross-court) |
 | 10 minutes |
Activity #5
