Skill #2 Stance the defensive position that a player should perform when waiting on their opponent(s) return

Attacking Stance -It is used to get into position before playing an overhead forehand stroke. To stand in the attacking stance turn your body facing the sidelines with racket leg behind and both legs shoulder-width apart. Raising both racket and non-racket arms willl generate the power to attack the shuttle on its downward trajectory.

Defensive Stance To defend the opponent’s smash, you need to be prepared with the defensive stance. Face the body to the net and place your racket in front at waist height, slightly pointing forward.Player can keep the non-racket arm as comfortable while ensuring a better balance.

Net Stance this stance is to be ready for the opponent’s return after playing a net shot. To play this shot, place your foot on the racket side forward while keeping a non-racket foot at the back. Place the racket in front of the body, slightly above waist height while raising the non-racket arm. Shift the body weight slightly forward to be ready to pounce forward.

Skill #3 Footwork the speed and skill with which a player moves from one zone of the court to another during the game

Footwork Footwork plays a huge role in helping with an effective and organized movement on the court. In fact, some coaches even raise footwork to prime importance over other skills.

Tips for Proper Footwork : Always remember the base (starting point). Move only 2-3 steps backward. Shuffle only 1 step side wards. Move only 2-3 steps front.

Skill#4 Serve It is the way the shuttle is put into play

High Serve High serve aims at the back-end corner of the opponent’s court. Ideally, a good high serve results in the shuttle dropping steeply downwards at the back end of the court. It is recommended to serve the shuttle to the opponent’s backhand area. This to exploit the weaker backhand that exists in the game of most of the players.

Low serve Unlike high serve, the low serve aims to the front of the court. The objective is to let the shuttle fly just above the net landing in the front corner of the court. In this case, your opponent has the opportunity to dash forward and smash the shuttle to you if the execution is poor.

Skill#5 Smash an offensive shot shot fired from a high point and travels down steeply towards your opponent A perfectly executed smash has no defense This badminton skill is the most aggressive and technical one..

Forehand smash A forehand smash is an overhead smash that a player hits with all the tempo downwards. It’s almost akin to throwing a ball straight. This skill in badminton acts as a game-changer for beginners.

Backhand This badminton smash is a tough and smash perfectly offensive shot. But it’s a tough nut to crack, even experts still abide from using it, unless it is necessary. To execute this stroke, getting the backhand grip is extremely important. Also, it is equally important to return back to stance. Backhand smash skill in badminton requires years of practice and consistency.

Jumping Smash A jump smash is basically taking a jump before hitting the shuttle to give it a steeper angle and making it very hard for the opponent to return.

Skill#6 and #7 Drop Shot a ball or shuttlecock so softly hit that it falls to the playing surface just after clearing the net Clear or Lob a normal badminton lob, but with an offensive purpose

Fast Drop Drop Shot Slow Drop Amongst all the basic skills in Badminton, the drop shot is the most technical one. Badminton Drop Shots are delicate badminton shots that can win you points that aim at scoring points in deception. Played with both backhand and forehand, these are used to move the opponent to the frontcourt. This creates space in the midcourt and backcourt for you to exploit.

Clear or Lob Long High Clear The lob shot in Badminton Flat High Clear can be imagined as a shot with an inverted ‘U’ trajectory. It is normally played from the forecourt with an aim to lift or ‘lob’ the shuttle over the opponent. The idea is to land it as near to the baseline as it is, at an angle that is impossible to clear.
