badminton singles serve?
Ive always been told that when serving for singles, its supposed to go all the way to the back. Yet when i look at several Mens Singles on the world level (all england open lin dan lcw) they seem to constantly serve to the front instead of the back. Why is that?
At the higher levels, the players' technique and power are so advanced that allowing a high serve to the back would result in a sudden devastating smash down the line. As a result, the short serve became popularized since it didn't allow a sudden smash.
At lower levels, a sudden smash off a high serve would be acceptable; keep in mind that it is a lower level and the smash wouldn't be as powerful; it could easily be predicted and countered, leaving the person who smashed in a very bad position to receive the block.
