In a May 12 announcement, the BWF said: 'The BWF Council has approved an 'experimental variation' of the badminton rules to ban the use of the new 'spin serve'. This change will take effect immediately and Kuala Lumpur It will continue until May 29, 2023, when the next board meeting will be held in .
A new provisionally approved rule states, ``The server must release the shuttle without adding spin and the server's racquet must hit the base of the shuttle.'' The wording 'server releases shuttle without adding spin' will prevent spin serve from being used in international tournaments.
According to Reuters, the spin serve was first used in an international tournament at the Polish Open in March. It has been pointed out that the spin serve, in which the spin is applied before the shuttle is hit, is extremely difficult to receive, so the number of situations in which points are scored solely by the serve rather than the rally has increased significantly, and it has been pointed out that this has a significant impact on the competitiveness of badminton. increase.
BWF President Paul Erik Heuer Larsen said: 'BWF welcomes athletes to innovate in badminton and test their skills to create a competitive edge on the court. We have received multiple opinions that this 'spin serve' may have a negative impact on the game,' he said, explaining that the ban on spin serves was requested by players.
Professional badminton players Greg Mairs and Jenny Moore explain in detail what kind of serve the 'spin serve' is, which has become a hot topic, in the following YouTube video.
The spin serve is different from the serves traditionally used in badminton.
It doesn't look that different from a normal serve, but it's very difficult for the receiver to return the ball.
The receiver got caught in the net.
If you look at the spin serve from the receiver's point of view, you can see the shuttle approaching with a strange rotation.
While the difficulty of returning the ball for the receiver is high, it is not so difficult for the server to learn.
When performing a spin serve, hold the shuttle with your left thumb and fold your middle finger over the top of the base. Normally, it is said that it is better not to hold the cork of the shuttle when serving, but the trick is to pinch the cork between your thumb and middle finger in a spin serve.
Just before you hit your serve, flip your middle finger to give the shuttle a counter-clockwise spin.
Looking at the finger movement without a shuttle looks like this. In Japan, the spin serve is also called the 'deco pin serve' because it has a unique movement that repels the shuttle.
In addition, when a left-handed player hits, it is effective to flip the shuttle with the thumb instead of the middle finger.
It seems that it is better to make the backswing of the racket quite short if the serve is slightly upward.
Also, it is explained that if you hit the shuttle immediately after flipping it, you can control the serve while maximizing the rotation.
At the end of the video, Maris states his view that if spin serve becomes common, rallies will almost never occur, so it will be banned eventually. Since this video was posted on April 16, 2023, spin serve was banned less than a month after Maris' prediction.
