After reading all about the singles high service return, it’s time to understand the low service variant. While waiting for the shuttle to come to you is one way to do a service return, sometimes you want to go towards the shuttle and engage it. This is the basic principle behind the singles low service return.
The advantage of connecting early with the shuttle is you get to choose from a variety of strokes for your return. It also enables you to play more offensive strokes. Quick reaction time and fast movement are essential to receive the shuttle, keeping lethargy at bay. Now let’s learn how to go about the singles low service return.
Get into the stance in the mid court area with the non-racquet foot forward and with a basic grip. Rather than waiting for the shuttle, go towards it. Avoid having the shuttle come close to your body and connect with it as early as possible. Pick an offensive stroke for the return to build up an advantage over the opponent in the ensuing rally. A general rule of thumb with the singles low service return is to engage the shuttle at the net cord level or higher.
As far as improving your singles low service return is concerned, it’s all about putting in the hours of practise to get your reflexes primed. Similar to the high service return, there are two exercises here as well. Start a 1 on 1 practice with multiple shuttles where your sparring partner tries out different serves, one shuttle at a time, and you practise returning the serves. The next exercise is targeted at improving your accuracy with the service return. Place boxes or mark all corner areas near the net and rear court as well. Your service returns should fall in the boxes or the areas marked.
Getting your service returns in place is very important from an overall game improvement perspective. There are no shortcuts though. Practise, practise and then practise some more. Now that you know how to return a serve in singles, it’s time to learn the same in doubles. Keep reading to know all about the doubles low service return in the next post.
