Backhand Flick Serve in Badminton

Welcome back to expertvillage.com. Now I'm going to show you how to do a back hand flick serve. It would be the same position as we did earlier. Shoulders need to be straight, right foot needs to be forward, for the right hand players, and left foot needs to be forward for left handers. As I mentioned earlier, the thumb is one of the important roles in doing this serve. And since, on the short serve, we only use the thumb in doing it, now we are going to use some wrist action in making the serve. Same grip very important role would be the wrist and the thumb. Since our objective in making the serve is make it have it higher then the eye level of the opponent. Same position racket needs to be diagonal to the ground. The racket head should not be higher then the waist line. Keep in mind we need the wrist action, power in doing the flick serve. Let me show you the right way. That is a example of the flick serve in using a backhand grip.
