Cards (11)

  • Proper Gripping
    • To hits forehands shots
    • To hits backhands shots
    • The thumb does not necessarily have to press against the wider surface of the badminton grip for a forehand stroke. Requires you to USE THE THUMB
  • Basic Stance
    It is a way you stand when retrieving certain shots from your opponent
  • Basic Stance
    • When you're in a ready position (before your opponent serves), make sure one leg is in front and one leg behind, opened slightly wide
  • Foot Works
    Good foot works allows good movement around the court
  • Low Serve
    • A serve that barely skims over the top of the net and lands near the short service line
    • When done correctly, it does not give the opponent an opportunity to attack and limits the type of shots on the service return
    • Short serve will immediately start dropping in a downwards flight path after it crosses the net, and continues to just land across the short service line, which forces opponents to lift the shuttle if they wait too long before returning the serve
  • High Serve
    • A serve that travels high and deep into the receiver's back court, targeting the furthest corner away from the server
    • Played powerfully upwards, so that the shuttlecock travels very high and almost vertically downwards at the back of the receiver's service court
    • The high serve should be exclusively executed with the forehand grip
  • Type of Shots
    • Clearing (or Lobbing)
    • Drop shots
    • Smash
  • Clear or Lobing shot
    • The defensive badminton clear is performed to get you out of trouble. In many instances, you'll be under tremendous pressure by your opponent. This happens when your opponent plays at a faster pace and isfiring continuous attacks on you
    • A clear or lob is a good way to get yourself more organized while you're under pressure and buys you some time to work yourself back into the rally
  • Drop Shot
    • The badminton drop shot is semi-offensive. It's performed from the back of the court and is usually used to maintain the pace of the game
    • The defensive clear (explained above) slows down the pace of the game– because it keeps the shuttle in the air for quite a while
    • The drop shot, on the other hand, maintains the pace of the game. A drop shot performed at a steep angle lands on the ground quicker, compared to the clear or lob. Your opponent has to rush forward to Retrieve it
    • Hit the drop shot ONLY when you're comfortable with the pace of the game. In other words, perform a drop shot when you're playing at a similar pace or a faster pace than your opponent. If you can't keep up with your opponent's pace, clear (or lob) the shuttle instead
  • Smash
    • The smash is often known as the 'winning shot' in badminton. It's used with the intention to end a rally
    • The smash is one of the most powerful badminton shots (apart from the jump smash) that is fired from a steep angle. However, when you decide to smash, you're taking a risk. Smashing causes, you to lose a certain degree of balance
