I’ve seen this question on Badminton Central too.

I’ve just recorded a video on serving which will form part of my bonus video to be released in about a month.

To me it doesn’t matter which foot you have forward to serve. What matters is that you can move quickly once you have served and most important, it’s what your racket does that determines how good your serve is.

What you have to consider is the return. In singles there are no half court pushes to cover, the shuttle is on the back line or near the net. If you can cover these areas quickly by serving with your feet together as an example, then why would it matter how you stood?

If however, you could not cover the corners and your serve was poor, then I’d be asking you to try numerous variations in style and stance to find something that does work for you.
