1. There is no more serving right: the side which wins a rally will get a point no matter they are serving or not. The side who wins will serve the next point. 2. Serving from the left or the right? This depends on the score of the serving party. If the score is zero or even, the team will serve from the right. If the score is odd, the team will serve from the left. 3. Should you and your partner switch service court (left to right, right to left)? Only when your team serves and wins the point. Therefore, when your side is not serving, dont switch side. When you lose a point, dont switch side. When the other side serves and you win this point, dont switch side. Otherwise, switch. 4. Like singles matches, a doubles match consists of 3 games of 21 points.
7. String tenstion
1. The strings are like elastic band. At lower tension, the strings will actually be less stiff and more bouncy. The bounciness will actually help propel the shuttle and it is good for beginners who have less strength. 2. If you have a lot of strength, then high tension makes sense. High tension requires you to hit it with more force. However, the sweet spot (the area with greatest repulsion) decreases with higher tension. Imagine that if your strings are as hard as brick wall, then there will be no repulsion and you will have to rely all on the strength of your arm. Sometimes higher tension can hurt you as you always force yourself to hit harder.
If your opponent is rushing in and attacking, try changing the length and power of your serve, and the length of time before you hit it. This will keep them guessing, and might rush them into a mistake. Try aiming for your opponents left shoulder (right, if theyre left handed). Its more difficult to attack a serve coming across you. The High Serve This service is often used in the singles game... but dont use it in doubles unless you have to! It gives your opponents plenty of time to smash, so youll be on the defence straight away. Use your normal racquet grip and take a larger swing, but make sure you hit the shuttlecock from below your waste. This service will move the opponent to the back of the court and will therefore create a lot of "free" on court. BUT, it will provide the opponent with plenty of time to attack with a smash or a drop-shot if you get it wrong.
