9.1
In a correct service:
9.1.1 neither side shall cause undue delay to the
delivery of the service once the server and the receiver
are ready for the service. On completion of the backward
movement of server’s racket head, any delay in
the start of the service (Law 9.2), shall be considered
to be an undue delay.
9.1.2 the server and the 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 the
receiver shall remain in contact with the surface of
the court in a stationary position from the start of
the service (Law 9.2) until the service is delivered
(Law 9.3).
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. The waist shall be considered to be an imaginary
line round the body, level with the lowest part of the
server’s bottom rib.
9.1.6 the shaft of the server’s racket
at the instant of hitting the shuttle shall be pointing
in a downward direction.
9.1.7 the movement of the server’s racket
shall continue forwards from the start of the service
(Law 9.2) until the service is delivered (Law 9.3).
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 shall land in the receiver’s
service court (i. e. on or within the boundary lines);
and
9.1.9 in attempting to serve, the server shall not miss
the shuttle.
