Most amazing shot ever!

[wedgewenis]

Okay, mabye not most amzing shot - but definately most amazing Net-Shot

last year I was playing a game

In a long rally I was out of position chasing down a netshot in the backhand corner - Knowing I had no way of reaching it I decided in blind faith to throw my racket at the shuttle - I tossed it head-first... the racket was probly about 16 inches from my hand in mid-air when it made a really tight net shot - a Jedi could not have made a better shot.

unfortunately with no racket in my hand for next shot - it was easy push shot winner for opponent.

I was like OMG! that was awsome - but he was not impressed, :eek:

I remember once using a 3 finger grip (index, middle and thumb) on the butt of the grip just to get just a few more centimetres to reach the shuttle. Luckily I way able to win that rally since I still had my racquet in hand.

I'm kind of impressed. May the force be with you.

haha, happened when i was playing doubles. the other guy carried on. i had to crawl onto the other side of the net to retrieve my racquet. then we lost :(

[ants]

Well that shot is not counted.

how come? anyways, it was a friendly game. but there have been instances in proper tournaments that i've seen(local) it done and worked.

[weekey]

I remember a shot did by my opponent in a game. He did a drop shot and the it was clearly going out. So I did not move to the shuttle at all. then the shuttle hit the top of the post and bounced back inside. I was stunned at that moment. What the hell!!

I believe in a real tournament, it's illegal. It's something about the rules saying you cannot cross your racket over to the other side unless following up on a shot. There's also another one that says you can't intentionally distract your opponent by under the net or something :p i cant remember

haha ok. and i guess crawling over to the opponents side to get my racquet breaks the foot past net rule :D ahhh. it was fun though. but over here, hardly anyone cares really. besides, the prize money for winning a junior tournament is like $25-$40 NZD. not much to fight over lol.

I've seen that before too.

I remember one time my opponent cleared it deep to my backhand so I cleared it back and I accidentally dropped my racket. It was behind the baseline so I had to quickly go grab it and return to the centre of the court where I knew he was going to smash it . Then I realized that it was on the floor on his side of the net just sitting on the line... I definetely got lucky that time.

[Cloggerz]

someone does a shot like tht and u argue about the rules, jeez lol it was amazing end of, now bend this spoon without toching it!!!

[wedgewenis]

wait a minute.. I'm not even remembering the shot correctly



No, I didnt throw the racket straight - I just threw it and it did one revolution 360 degrees before contacting the shuttle ...

I couldn't have possibly thrown it straight ... If I threw it straight the shuttle would have died on the strings - no, it was backhand and I had to extend my arm to throw it so it would have spun the racket...the spinning motion had enough momentum to propel the shuttle over ....


This was like 2 years ago now and never really thought about it since - yea so thats how it actually happend. Also hard to remember perhaps because I was falling on my face when I threw the shot - so only caught a glimpse of what happend ..

Its funny how I looked at opponent with expression like "did you F!@king see that?" and he didnt even acknowledge that it was the greatest shot ever...

I even said "... yea, I meant to do that! "

.... and thats why I'm the Champ!

LOL! Awesome story, I've never-ever seen such a shot The force is strong with this one xD

I'm sure these have been done before, but only in the rarest of situations:

1) I hit a net shot that rolled down the net, and my practice partner/opponent somehow got the bird without touching the net and hit a net shot that rolled right back over. Needless to say, we were both SHOCKED~!

2) My opponent once hit consecutive drops that rolled over the net, I somehow the first one, but he nailed me with the second one.

3) My opponent once thought I was going to drop, rushed forward, I cleared, he rushed back, did a sideways barrel roll in the air, and somehow hit it over. He also did another similar shot, except without the barrel roll. Very nice...
