badminton serve
good information on how to serve. In this clip i am confused about where to stand in order to serve, as Sara mentioned two different lines that you can serve from. Not knowing the rules, I am wandering if you can choose which line to serve from.
serving
Stage: Beginner
Stage Characteristics: discription of serving. Stance, arm swing, placement on court, drop birdie onto the racket
What to Change: This video is a little confusing. It would have been easier for the instructor to only mention one type of serve and to speak more clearly, it was hard to hear and understand her.
Cue: Contact the birdie with the middle of the racket.
Serving
This video was a good look into a demonstration for serving a birdie over the court for a beginner. The women presented both types of serves and what side of your body you should hit them on, She also demonstrated how to stand with your feet and what lines you are able to serve from. This video did not cover just how high the birdie should be tossed into the air or where to contact the birdie on the racket which is around the waist area as we had discussed in class. The video also did not cover where exactly the direction of the birdie needed to go to, whether there were out of bounds or which played you need to direct it to. More clear demonstration could be provided. An important cue she could have pointed out were step by step details of the motion and direction of body and birdie.
