5.1.11.4.3.4.Drive Serve
Use this badminton serve to add some variation to your serving game. This is considered an attacking serve and can be used in singles and doubles. The shuttle will travel at a flatter angle pass the net with pace.

It may win you points outright or force a poor service return if your opponent is unprepared. However, make sure you contact the shuttle below your waist and not make a service fault.

• Played with forehand underarm action.
• Stand in a comfortable and balanced position, a bit further from the service line.
• Lead with your non-racket leg and place your racket leg behind.
• Place your racket a bit below the waist level and bring it back parallel to it.
• Swing the racket forward following through.
• Hold the shuttle by the feathers and let it drop slightly sideways to your body.
• Hit the shuttle and let it pass the net at a flatter angle.
