3D human kinematic measurement system was adopted in this study , this study compared the kinematic characteristic between forehand and backhand serve in three types. Seven male badminton players participated in this study. After analyzing the captured images, this study come to the conclusion as follows: (a) there are significant difference between the backhand and the forehand serve,and there are no difference between difference serve types within both forehand and backhand during back swing phase, (b) there are significant difference between the backhand and the forehand serve, and there are significant difference between short serve, high serve, and drive serve within both forehand and backhand, (c) there are significant difference between the backhand and the forehand serve, and there are significant difference between short serve, high serve, and drive serve within both forehand and backhand.
