    When the doubles sets up for serve and is holding the shuttle and racquet stationary (backhand serve), he then moves shuttle and racquet together with the arms making a motion similar to a window wiper. He then serves.

    I think this motion to serve have been used in the past by doubles players. :confused:

    In this case, is there any advantage doing the serve this way? What is the effect it has on the shuttle trajectory say compared to one back/forward motion serve?
