Really enjoy re-watching these videos. It is like attending a workshop. Years ago my coach had me practice forehand & backhand low serves during 2 private lessons. Best 2 hours ever spent. He said when you are capable of serving just over the net & shuttle lands on the front line at the middle you can easily win 5 points in a row. Also most players don't think tactics. Most of my friends (club level) are focusing more on doing illegal serves. They think it is a deception: moving racket back & forth several times before striking the shuttle, racket head is above the handle, & serving when receiver or his partner is not ready. I'll pass my opponent the shuttle from outside the court. As I am walking back on the court, he serves. I don't call faults on illegal serves. Most people will just argue. Besides the quality of the serve is so poor it is easy for me to attack it. By their body language I can tell where they are going to serve.
@TheBadmintonCoach Legal & illegal net blocks. At club level socials, I see players play a net shot. Before the opponent can get to the shuttle, the player will stick up their racket like in volleyball & basketball. Thus blocking the follow through of a straight net kill/drop or forcing me to have to play a cross court net shot or a high lift that may hit the player's racket. Is this even allowed? I feel it is bad for the game because players mock their opponent after doing it. Sooner or later, someone is just going to smash the shuttle into the player's face, or a racket clash will happen at the net. Senior aged players are calling faults when this happens. Mainly because they don't want to smash a shuttlecock at a face or break a racket on a follow-through. I agree every time my partner tries to make this block. Thanks in advance.
@@TheHi-T I don’t like this kind of shot at all. As I understand it, the rule a player cannot block at the net. They have to be playing a shot so there must be movement in the racket. I think the whole scenario should be considered a fault
Thanks for this interesting insight. Love this doubles tactics series. Now I have to convince my friends to give it a try a think a little bit about our game.
I like your thinking and and it's very possible I will. Feel free to email me if you don't see the video. we are currently changing computers and lighting to hopefully provide better videos so it may take time to record.

Delighted you like the video. Any other videos you’d like to see?

Great video Paul would be good to see some more tactical videos maybe around positions
they've already been recorded
Great tip. Would the same tactic work serving from the other side (odd score side) keeping in mind I am serving to a right handed player?
Thanks Paul.... lovely video.
thanks for your comment
Very great and useful video
many thanks for your comment
Nice videos could you maybe make one about ladies defense in a mix. Push return and next to each other?

Thank you so much...

good video.
but serve to this corner all time is difficult. I'd rather serve to a bit centre to avoid mistake.
or you need to improve your serve
