Forehand service is also known as bottom service because the service is done by swinging the racket from the bottom along with the removal of the shuttlecock from the hands. High-hand service is carried out with full power so that the shuttlecock can slide high and far away, hoping to be able to get past the opponent's position.

The low-hand beating technique is similar to high-hand foreplay, which distinguishes the energy that is spent and the targets to be achieved. At this service, the service is carried out with the hope that the shuttlecock can slide closer to the net as low as the net and fall on the front line of the opponent, making it difficult for the opponent to return the shuttlecock.

This service is also common for badminton athletes, especially double players. This service is done by holding the shuttlecock with his left hand, while the position of the racket is tilted to the right hand. This service is done so that the shuttlecock can slide as low as possible with the net as if it fell on the front line of the opponent's area. That way the opponent will return the shuttlecock with a high blow.

This service is carried out with basic foreplay and backhand techniques whose goal is to direct the shuttlecock to the opponent's back area. This service is done by holding a racket as high as the shoulder and then swinging it from behind to the front of the body. Try not to hit too hard so that the shuttlecock doesn't leave the field.

As the name suggests, this service is carried out by hitting the shuttlecock in a flat direction. This technique is done with a flat hitting direction towards the opponent's body or in a certain direction so that the opponent has difficulty returning the shuttlecock. This service is quite difficult because athletes must be able to control the blowforce and be able to read the opponent's weak points. If athletes do not take into account these two factors, the opponent will easily return the blow so that points can be stolen.

The service drive is done by hitting the shuttlecock quickly, flatly, and as low as possible with the net. The way to serve this is to throw the shuttlecock from the body and then hit it. Usually this service targets the intersection angle between the back lines and the midfield.

The flick service is done quickly and suddenly. This technique targets the opponent's declining vigilance so that the shuttlecock can be launched quickly is not easy to return. Because this service relies on speed, the power needed must also be large.
