    There are 4 basic strokes in badminton: the overhead forehand, which is the most common and first learned; the overhead backhand, which is often a weakness; the underarm forehand; and the underarm backhand. There are 4 main types of serves in badminton: the low serve, which floats just over the net and is commonly used in doubles; the high serve, which is driven deep into the opponent's court but should not be used too often; the flick serve, which is unexpected but can be easy to return if anticipated; and the drive serve, which is risky but rewarding if the opponent has a slow reaction time.

    There are 4 basic strokes:

    Overhead forehand – the most common we see, the first to learn

    Overhead backhand – many people’s main weakness

    Underarm forehand – a low shot on the forehand side

    Underarm backhand – a low shot on the backhand side

    Types of Serves in Badminton

    Low Serve

    The low serve allows you some flexibility because you can use either forehand or backhand. Play to your strengths
    and use the style that you are best at. The low serve will be most effective if you allow the birdie to float just over
    the top of the net. This will allow the birdie to land very near to the short service line and will require your
    opponent to run forward and hopefully miss the play. Although this serve is used both in singles and doubles, the
    low serve is the most common serve used in doubles.

    High Serve

    When playing singles, consider using a high serve to drive the birdie deep into your opponent's court. Make sure
    not to use this serve too often, as your opponent will come to expect it and learn to stay near the back of his court
    during your service. You should refrain from using this serve during doubles as well, since the player receiving your
    serve will likely always stand in the back court during doubles. This serve requires a forehand underarm action and
    a careful follow through. Make sure you stand two to three steps behind the service line to give yourself enough
    room for a proper follow through and to ensure that the birdie stays in bounds.

    Flick Serve

    The flick serve should be used sparingly, because it can be a fairly easy serve to play if expected. Use this serve no
    more than once every five serves to keep your opponent guessing. Begin the serve the same way that you would
    when executing a low serve; however, instead of gently tapping the birdie over the net, flick your wrist quickly to
    bring the birdie unexpectedly into your opponent's back court. You can use this serve in either doubles or singles,
    but it is more commonly used in doubles.

    Drive Serve

    The drive serve is an extremely risky serve, but many expert badminton players enjoy it because of the high reward
    it can yield. Observe your opponent carefully. If you determine that your opponent has a slow reaction time, it is
    best to throw in the drive serve occasionally, as you are likely to get the point. The drive serve is executed using
    forehand underarm actions. It should be a quick serve and the birdie should go low over the net and deep into
    your opponent's court. Be careful and stay on your toes, because if your opponent hits your serve it will likely
    come back to your side very quickly.
