To be a good badminton player, you must understand how to play basic strokes. Learn the netshot, service, and lets. You will also have to learn the shuttlecock testing. You must hit the shuttlecock at an upward angle in the direction of the sidelines. If the shuttlecock is hit at the correct speed, it will land 530 mm to 990 mm short of the other back boundary line. Badminton shoes should be lightweight and non-marking.
Basic strokes
The basic strokes in badminton involve hitting the shuttlecock with power and aiming it at the opponent’s back court. These shots are often used when players need to take control of the game by making the opponent change positions. They are generally executed in a variety of ways and are aimed at catching the opponent off guard and taking control of the game.
Service
A service in badminton is a shot used to start the play or rally. The player who serves must be on the right side of the court, and the person who receives the service must be on the opposite side.
Netshot
The net shot is a powerful offensive shot that can be a game-winner or rally-finisher. It is used as part of the attack and in-between face, and can be performed with the backhand or forehand. The goal of the shot is to maximize the shuttle’s power.
Lets
Badminton is a sport played between two people. The game is played on a badminton court, where the shuttles are alternated. A let is called when a shuttle lands on the court and then needs to be played again by the receiving player. The rules for this sport are described in the BWF Badminton Laws.
Speed of shots
Speed is a key element in badminton. You must be able to hit the shuttlecock at the right time, as well as strike it at its highest point. There are many different types of badminton shots, so it’s important to get your timing right. If you can’t hit the shuttlecock at the right time, you will have limited options.
