BWF approve temporary ban on unplayable 'spin serve'


PETALING JAYA: Badminton's world governing body (BWF) have approved an interim ban on the new 'spin serve' at all their international tournaments until further consultation at their annual general meeting later this month.

The amendment to the laws of the sport now states that the server should release the shuttle "without adding spin" as the BWF look to improve rallies after the spin serve proved to be tough to return or completely unplayable.
