Listen to ‘The Badminton Experience’ debate
Steen Pedersen, Anders Antonsen & HKV share their thoughts
Who will you agree with?
“I see lots of people return low serves with the forehand (racket face) and I hate it, I truly hate it”
Steen Pedersen
Which racket face is best for receiving a low serve?
- does it matter?
Anders, Steen and Hans-Kristian have a lively interesting debate
-
Steen suggested
- There are more opportunities for disguise and deception when using the BH face
- You don’t necessarily need to spin the return
- More players should consider how they wish to receive, as in his opinion there was an advantage to be gained
- That in the past Taufik Hidayat changed where he low served to when playing Peter Gade to nullify PG’s great backhand net returns
Anders Antonsen asked
“What can you do with the Backhand return that you can’t do with the Forehand?”
Questions for you and your coaching friends
- Do you practice the art of receiving a badminton singles low serve
- Which raket face provides the biggest advantage : Forehand or Backhand, or does it not matter
- What are the considerations for returning and serving in singles?
- Do you engage with your players in these discussions
