High serve in Badminton

Reviewer Excellent depth and structure - covers the legal and technical details most tutorials skip.

Moderator Entirely and explicitly about the forehand high serve: what it is and why (height forces a steep, hard-to-attack drop), grip, stance, footwork, shuttle-holding technique, and contact point. Textbook coverage of exactly this sub-skill.

Reviewer Efficient, precise, no filler.

Moderator Clean three-step structured breakdown (preparation, shot, recovery) entirely about the high forehand serve.

Reviewer Thorough, step-by-step breakdown — grip, stance, the drop, the hit, all of it. Ignore the rough English, the coaching is solid.

Moderator Entirely and only about the forehand high serve, step by step.

Reviewer Detailed, correct, and explains the common mistake -- strong resource.

Moderator The whole video is a technical breakdown of the high serve motion -- stance, grip, toss, swing sequencing. Squarely on topic.

Reviewer Strong, specific tips with real technical reasoning behind each.

Moderator Five specific, well-explained tips squarely about improving the high serve — relaxation, trajectory height, positioning, body momentum, shuttle drop.

Reviewer Genuinely useful — explains the why and gives you a fix for the #1 beginner mistake.

Moderator This is exactly what the sub-skill asks for — a dedicated breakdown of the long/high forehand serve: why you use it, where to place it (baseline, middle vs. wide), and how the high, steep trajectory neutralizes attack. Nothing else competes for screen time.

Reviewer Excellent fault-diagnosis coaching for beginners and kids specifically.

Moderator Detailed coaching specifically on teaching the forehand high serve to beginners/kids, diagnosing the exact contact-point problem that causes shots to go up instead of forward.

Reviewer Structured, credible-looking, and long enough to actually teach the serve.

Moderator Explicitly billed as a complete tutorial breaking down the essential elements of a perfect high serve - this is squarely teaching the serve technique itself, from an academy account.

Reviewer Explains the reasoning, not just the motion -- good coaching.

Moderator Direct coaching session on the high serve -- why you'd use it, the contact-point physics behind it, stance for forehand and backhand versions, live reps with a student. All high serve.

Moderator The forehand long serve taught start to finish: why you serve high and deep, where to stand, stance and balance, how to hold the shuttle, the drop and swing, follow-through and finish moving onto the front foot. Exactly the high serve.

Reviewer Teaches the forehand high serve properly: where to stand, how to hold and drop the shuttle, and where to finish.

Reviewer The 'sticky racket' cue alone is worth the watch, genuinely good coaching language.

Moderator Grip, shuttle hold, stance, and swing are all built explicitly toward a serve that lands 'high, deep, and consistent,' that's the high serve, and the whole two minutes stays on it without wandering into other serve types.

Reviewer Simple three-point checklist, repeated until it sticks, solid basics.

Moderator Explicitly framed as the follow-up to a backhand-serve video, 'today you will be learning how to do the high serve,' and every point (foot distance, elbow height, full-hand shuttle hold, follow-through over the shoulder) is high-serve mechanics.

Reviewer Good clear basics from a real coach, nicely paced for beginners.

Moderator Exactly the sub-skill — the long/high serve for beginners, both forehand and backhand, aimed deep into the opponent's court.

Reviewer Same good lesson, though this cut trails off messily at the end.

Moderator Same lesson as the other 'handshake grip' forehand serve video, grip, one-finger release, stance, and the 'sticky racket' swing cue, all built toward a high, deep, consistent serve.

Reviewer Names the real fault, gives a fix a kid can use.

Moderator This is exactly the high serve -- racket face path, straight up-and-down motion, aiming relative to the nose. Textbook on-topic.

Reviewer Clean, accurate serve mechanics -- a bit brief, but solid basics.

Moderator This is literally a high-serve technique breakdown -- grip, stance, weight transfer, wrist action, contact point in front and to the side of the body. Squarely on topic for the skill.

Reviewer No stroke mechanics, but excellent on when and why to use the high serve.

Moderator Squarely about the high serve -- its purpose in women's singles, why it's used less at the top of men's singles, how to follow it up, how to build a rally off it. Exactly the sub-skill.

Reviewer Quick, correct, no fluff -- good for the basics.

Moderator A #shorts entirely about singles high-serve stance and the three-part motion -- squarely the sub-skill, no filler.

Reviewer Clear, correct walkthrough with the why behind it.

Moderator Entirely the forehand high serve: purpose (push to back court), sideways stance, relaxed grip, cup the shuttle, weight transfer/hip drive, pronation, drop-before-swing for a long lever. Bang on.

Reviewer Comprehensive, well-coached serve tutorial.

Moderator Forehand serve step-by-step with the high serve front and centre - lever, weight transfer, hip rotation, timing, plus where to serve. On topic for serve (high).

Reviewer Names the actual problem, then gives you the actual fix, efficient coaching.

Moderator Opens by diagnosing a specific high-serve fault, 'that's why your high serve isn't reaching the back line,' and the fix (racket face, wrist, body rotation, follow-through) is entirely in service of that one goal: depth on the high serve.

Reviewer Solid cue, a bit rambling in the delivery.

Moderator Same lesson thread as the clock-position serve video -- matching the shuttle's orientation to the racket path, straight up and down. Squarely the high serve motion.

Reviewer Good expert tactics, though quite visual and dense to follow from words alone, with a padded ending.

Moderator Specifically addresses court positioning and footwork after hitting a high/long serve to the baseline versus other serve types, which is genuine tactical knowledge for using the high serve effectively in a rally, even though the focus is post-serve movement rather than the serve's execution.

Reviewer Useful specifics despite some language rough edges.

Moderator Covers high lob service in detail (with low service as a secondary topic in the same video).

Reviewer Clean technique explanation, a bit brief.

Moderator The flick serve is a form of high/deceptive serve used to catch an opponent off guard - disguised as a short serve then flicked high and deep. This is squarely a technique tutorial for that shot, for both doubles and singles.

Reviewer Complete technique breakdown, just a little rough to follow.

Moderator Explicitly teaches the backhand HIGH service (flick service) alongside the backhand low service - stance, grip, swing, and the 1.15m height fault rule. Squarely on topic despite some awkward ESL phrasing.

Reviewer Top-tier flick serve breakdown - prep, strike and tactics all covered.

Moderator The flick serve is the attacking high serve - sends the shuttle high and deep to push the opponent back, disguised as a low serve. That is squarely in the high-serve family and it is taught in detail.

Reviewer Correct but very thin — covers the basics only.

Moderator Short, direct instruction on stance, grip, and the drop-then-swing timing for the high deep serve.

Reviewer Solid breakdown of the singles high serve: stance, three-step motion, and why you aim deep. Light on grip and contact point.

Moderator Overview of badminton serves that opens with the high, long singles serve (where to stand, the three-part motion, where to aim) and gives it the first few minutes. Then it moves on to short, flick and doubles serves, so only part of it is on this skill, but it's the part that's done properly.

Reviewer Smart tactical thinking, light on execution mechanics.

Moderator This is really about serve placement strategy based on reading opponent stance/position, with the flick (a high serve variant) discussed as one tactical option among short/cross serves. Touches the sub-skill but isn't centered on executing the high serve itself.

Reviewer Good fundamentals, but not much high-serve-specific depth in what's shown.

Moderator Covers general singles service stance, grip, and shuttle-hold fundamentals, then contrasts full-power (high serve) against no-power (low serve) technique. The excerpt leans more into setup and the low serve; the high-serve-specific portion may extend past this 5000-char cut, so I'm judging what's actually shown.

Reviewer Correct gist, but too vague and choppy to actually apply.

Moderator Squarely aimed at fixing a serve that only goes up instead of high-and-far, which is exactly the high serve's job. Short and thin, but every line is on-topic.

Reviewer Solid rules lesson, not a technique lesson.

Moderator Covers serve rules broadly -- cross-court requirement, line boundaries, which side to serve from by score -- rather than the high serve stroke specifically. Relevant prerequisite knowledge, but not the shot execution.

Reviewer One good cue about swinging through rather than flicking it, but light on detail here and there's a sales pitch at the end.

Moderator Splits roughly evenly between the low doubles serve and the high singles serve, so the high serve gets real airtime, just not the whole video.

Reviewer Good serve strategy, heavy VPN ad.

Moderator Serving set plays in mens doubles, includes flick out wide and flick down the middle, so the flick or high serve is part of it among the low serves and positioning.
