Some time ago, the matter of stealing the backcourt alarm was boiling in the badminton circle, this matter has been said by many people, but here I ask a question, when facing the opponent stepping on the serve line to receive the serve, there is no other way but to steal the backcourt?
Of course not, in fact, we have many ways to solve this problem. First of all, we need to be clear, when others step on the serve line to receive the hair, what are the pros and cons? The advantages everyone knows, you can hit the ball faster, but have you ever thought about the disadvantages of this hair catch? The disadvantage is that it is easy to be stolen from the backcourt? Of course, it's more than that. The disadvantage of stepping on the line is that the preparation time for catching the ball is shortened, and the response to itself is more demanding. Then we must give full play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, reduce the advantages of the opposite side, and expand the disadvantages of the opposite side.
So how to make the most of the strengths and avoid the weaknesses? That's the change that increases one's own serve. Because the time to step on the line and receive the ball is short, and the reaction time to the change is short, it is difficult to make a suitable response in a short period of time when facing a changing serve. Stealing the backfield is also a kind of change, which is the most obvious and the effect is the most prominent. But there's more to the change in serve than that, there are many ways to catch the opposite side off guard when stepping on the line.
The simplest change is the change in the rhythm of the serve, if you feel that the serve is always being pounced on by others, then it is very likely that the opponent has seen through your serve rhythm and has moved ahead of time to catch your serve before you serve. Then at this time, you only need to breathe one more time when you are ready to serve, change the rhythm of the serve, then you can most likely see that the opposite side has moved the center of gravity and is ready to catch you. When the opponent wants to move ahead of time to catch you but finds that you have not served, and you have to pull the center of gravity back, take this opportunity to serve again, and it will be difficult for the opposite side to grab the high point to save your serve. So, changing the rhythm of the serve, fast or slow, not always a rhythm serve, is a very good way to move the ball ahead of the opposite side to catch the ball.
The second change can be a change in the drop point of the serve. Even if you're just staring at the tee line, there are three positions to choose from: 1, 2, and 5. So when serving, if someone else is stepping on the serve line and ready to pounce on you, then you have to keep changing the position of the serve, so that he can't move in advance, and you have to wait until you have the ball to know how many zones you have sent. And because he stepped on the serve line, the reaction time is shorter, and it is difficult to ensure high-quality serves in the face of constantly changing positions. Here is a friendly reminder, if you are in the outer corner of the double division, then it is best to help your teammates make up a straight line, forcing the opposite side to pick up the arc of the hair extension. Otherwise, pushing straight on the opposite side is your teammate's backhand area, and he will be very uncomfortable.
The third point is the change in the speed of the serve. We are always used to sending the ball as close as possible, thinking that it is best to fall at the free throw line to be considered a high-quality serve. But such serves tend to be slow, and even if the opposite side steps on the serve line, there is more time to prepare. At this time, we may as well send some faster balls, and the serve landing point is not aimed at the serve line, but at the opposite chest to face area. This faster ball can not only compress the reaction time of the opposite shot, but also change the position of the serve landing point, making it more difficult for the opponent to predict. Note that this kind of serve should be attached to the net as much as possible, not high. If you feel that it is too close to the net to serve this kind of ball, you can pull back a little when you serve, and you are more inclined to the singles backhand serve.
The above three points can be combined so that your serve changes will be more abundant. Cai Yun Cai team once said that the serve is the only technique on the badminton court that is completely undisturbed by the opponent, so we must pay attention to it. Many people simply serve the ball and don't think about how to build an advantage in the serve stage. If the serve rhythm is too single, it is easy for the opponent to figure out the routine. Even if the opponent does not step on the serve line to catch the hair, there will be a way to target it. And if we can polish our own serve skills and make the serve change a little more, even if the opposite side steps on the serve line, it will be difficult to save your serve.
Here you may have to ask, these changes can only make the opponent dare not move in advance to catch the serve, so is there a more advanced serve routine? Of course there is, isn't the opposite side trying to grab my serve? Sometimes I deliberately send the ball to his hand because he steps on the serve line and has a short reaction time. And he has long thought about catching my serve, at this time there is a high probability that he will return to a most accustomed line. And all I have to do is wait for him on his habitual return line. What does it say? I have prejudged your prejudgment, and this is the case. The other side may be muttering in the heart, how can it be so fast? But in fact, before I served, I had already set a trap for him, but he didn't know it when he jumped in.
If it is not in a regular game, then when the opposite side steps on the serve line to receive the hair, there is no need to steal the opposite backcourt all the time. When the opposite hair receiver is constantly putting pressure on you, it is a good opportunity for you to practice serving. We must not only pursue higher serve quality, but also enrich our own serve routines. When your serve is full of changes, even if the opponent stands on the serve line, you can still gain an advantage by serving.
