5.1.11.4.3.1.High Serve
Use this badminton serve during singles play to move your opponent as far back in court as possible, thus opening up his court. Be more cautious if you use this serve during doubles. Opponents with strong attacking abilities will work this serve to your disadvantage.

• Played with a forehand underarm action.
• Stand two to three feet behind the short service line.
• Relax your body and bent your knees slightly.
• Lead with your non-racket leg and place your racket leg behind.
• Bring your racket back to almost your shoulder level then swing it forward following the rhythm of the stroke.
• Hold the shuttle by the feathers and let it drop slightly in front of you.
• Hit it with the flat face of your racket and follow through until your racket reaches the non-racket side of your head.
