  move your opponent as far back in court as
  possible, thus opening up his court. Be more
  cautious if you use this serve during doubles.
  Opponents with strong attacking abilities will
  work this serve to your disadvantage.
• - Stand two to three feet behind the short
  service line.- Relax your body and bent your
  knees slightly.- Lead with your non-racket leg
  and place your racket leg behind.- Bring your
  racket back to your waist level then start your
  forward swing.- Hold the shuttle by the feathers
  and bring it closer to meet the racket instead of
  dropping it in front.- Contact the shuttle at a
  higher point but still below your waist line.-
  Push the shuttle with the racket face and try to
  make the shuttle skim the tape of the net.

  opponent to lift the shuttle. It is commonly used

  serve.

FOREHAND OVERHEAD CLEAR IN BADMINTON

  try to generate as much power as possible by
  snapping the wrist and rolling the forearm
• Bring your right leg across over the left leg if
  shuttle is away.

  impossible to generate any power without
  extensive use of the shoulders
• Reach in front of the body (towards the net) to
  make contact

  smash, netting)
• Defensive Lob (A)Defensive lob used to defend
  attack, done with throw tall shuttlecock far
  until backline.
• Dropshot (B)Stroke dropshot that stroke done with
  a purpose to laid shuttlecock as soon as it and
  nearly with net in field of opponent.
• Attack Lob (C)Attack lob stroke taken from in
  front of body above head, throw with low and
  fast.
• Drive (D)Drive stroke aimed along line side and
  horizontal as high as net, as a mean to speed up
  time of game with launch shuttlecock rock-bottom
  in net.

  you can up at under field of opponent. Method in
  smash stroke much the same with lob stroke. The
  difference, lob stroke strike tall to top while
  stroke smash strike sharp downwards hardly.

  high as and as soon as possible in front of net
  and stroke netting must throw as low as may be

18
FOOTWORK IN BADMINTON

• Good badminton footwork is simply having the
  ability to reach the shuttle early while on
  balance. You can skip, shuffle, bounce, glide,
  chasse step or lunge on court.So long as you
  reach the shuttle fast, depriving your opponents
  of time, you can use all the above movement that
  suits best to you depending on the situation.

19
DROP SHOT IN BADMINTON

• Primarily utilized after a high serve or a clear
  shot, the drop shot should just barely clear the
  net. It is most effective when disguised as an
  overhead clear.

20
SMASH IN BADMINTON

• Get into position so contact can be made in front
  of the body with the racket face angling down
  toward the court
• It is far easier to smash from the forecourt than
  the back court because of the angle the shuttle
  must travel. Also the shuttle slows down rapidly
  and therefore may be easily returned when struck
  from deep in the court
• Sharp downward angle is just as important as
  sheer speed. The smash is a power stroke that
  must be placed at the opponents feet
