Skateboard shot!

[ants]

I had a great and enjoyable game yesterday! One of the best shot i saw yesterday which i haven't seen anywhere is the shot i called Skateboard shot.

As i was giving a tight drop from the baseline , my fren retrieve the shot by giving a crosscourt netshot... to my amazement.. i as just standing there and watch it ( i know i can retrieve it ). The shuttle went up and slide across the net , i mean slide.. like skateboard grinding on the rail. It slides for almost 4 to 5 feet on the net and drop over to my side. What a shot..!!!

haha..

I was thinking maybe someone had done a jump shash, but at the peak of the jump had grabbed his shoe with the non-racquet hand

technically a jump smash shoe grab with 180 rotation :D

4-5 ft? Wow...

I remember I did something like this once, but nowhere close to be 4-5 ft (what a balance). Mine could be like <2 feet, I assume.

Why not summersault once , then turn 180 degrees, then execute a perfect backhand smash straight down the line :D

lol. That is true. Real impressive. The shuttle was spinning on its y-axis alot??? or did the cork touch the net tape and go from there? care to elaborate more? this is kinda interesting!

Would be great promotion if the pros played such shots....

was it a tail slide or nose slide?
:D

It was sliding from the body. Tail and nose , the feathers play a big part as well.
