| 9.1 |
In a correct service: |
| |
9.1.1 |
neither side shall cause undue delay to the delivery of the
service once server and receiver have taken their respective
positions; |
| |
9.1.2 |
the server and receiver shall stand within diagonally opposite
service courts without touching the boundary lines of these
service courts; |
| |
9.1.3 |
some part of both feet of the server and receiver shall remain
in contact with the surface of the court in a stationary position
from the start of the service (Law 9.4) until the service is
delivered (Law 9.5); |
| |
9.1.4 |
the server's racket shall initially hit the base of the shuttle; |
| |
9.1.5 |
the whole shuttle shall be below the server's waist at the
instant of being hit by the server's racket; |
| |
9.1.6 |
the shaft of the server's racket at the instant of hitting
the shuttle shall be pointing in a downward direction to such
an extent that the whole of the head of the racket is discernibly
below the whole of the server's hand holding the racket as in
Diagram D; |
| |
9.1.7 |
the movement of the server's racket shall continue forwards
from the start of the service (Law 9.4) until the service is
delivered; and |
| |
9.1.8 |
the flight of the shuttle shall be upwards from the server's
racket to pass over the net so that, if not intercepted, it
lands in the receiver's service court (ei on or within the boundary
lines). |
| 9.2 |
If a service is not corrected by virtue of any
of Laws 9.1.1 to 9.1.8, it shall be a 'fault' (Law 13) by the
offending side. |
| 9.3 |
It is a 'fault' if the server, in attempting to
serve, misses the shuttle. |
| 9.4 |
Once the players have taken their position, the
first forward movement of the server's racket head shall be
the start of the service. |
| 9.5 |
Once started (Law 9.4), the service is delivered
when the shuttle is hit by the server's racket or, in attempting
to serve, the server misses the shuttle. |
| 9.6 |
The server shall not serve before the receiver
is ready, but the receiver shall be considered to have been
ready if a return of service is attempted. |
| 9.7 |
In doubles, the partners may take up any positions
which do not unsight the opposing server or receiver. |
