Serve with a shot high back (Freepic)

YOGYAKARTA - Service punches in badminton can be done with several different techniques. One of them is service with a high back shot or so-called lob. This service technique is usually used to outwit opponents in badminton matches.

In addition to pranking or tricking opponents, service lob also makes the direction difficult to guess and reach by opponents. When you do this service, the opponent will be overwhelmed to catch up with the back. That's why this service technique is vital enough to turn off the opponent or get points briefly.

However, service lob also requires a separate technique that is different from the short service in front of the net. Let's learn service techniques with a high back shot that needs to be controlled by badminton players.

The service lob becomes very effective when used in singles games, as the movement in this technique takes advantage of the power and initiative to ensure the shuttlecock can be returned. This helps to drain the opponent's energy more easily.

In addition, the advantage of the service lob lies in the shuttlecock's high shot, so that the speed decreases and the direction tends to fall with a sharp angle approaching straight down.

This condition often makes it difficult for opponents to return the shuttlecock. After understanding that the shot bounced high backwards called the service lob, you must immediately be alert to anticipate a counterattack from your opponent.
