BWF hands interim ban on ‘spin serve’

With the new ‘spin serve’ creating a flutter in international badminton, the world governing body Badminton World Federation has decided to put an interim ban on the use of the experimental serve effective immediately until 29 May, 2023.
“BWF Council has approved a proposal for an ‘experimental variation’ to the Laws of Badminton to forbid the use of the
|new ‘spin serve’ effective immediately until 29 May, 2023,” BWF said in a statement.
“The interim ban takes effect at all Badminton World Federation sanctioned international tournaments, including the BWF Sudirman Cup Finals 2023 starting Sunday, 14 May, 2023, and the Malaysia Masters 2023 the following week.”
A new “unreturnable” spin-serve has caught the attention of the world’s top badminton players, with even the Indian doubles shuttlers putting in the hard yards to master this latest skill, which many believe can give an “unfair” advantage to the players.
