The first shots of a rally provide various tactical options in badminton. The aim is to compare the frequency and efficiency of the serve, return shot and the combination of the first three shots in male and female matches. We observed 15 male and 15 female matches from the top level players in the Czech Republic. We observed the type and direction of the first three shots of the rally. Male players used the backhand short serve in 88 % of cases, while female players used the forehand high serve in 80 %. Based on the serve type, different returns shot and shot combinations were available. The frequency and efficiency of specific shots and shot combinations are shown in the results below. The game conception differs between the genders and the difference starts with the first shot of the rally. It is important to consider these gender game specifics in the practice sessions and players development.

Keywords: strategy; notational analyses; game performance
