after years of playing badminton, i still dont know the terms of some people saying by:

-> lob
->slice
->dropshot
->netshot (not sure)
->touchshot
->backclear
->forehand smash

help me understand what it mean and how to do it... thanks.

If you've been playing badminton for fun (amatuer?), then perhaps you won't really know these terms....

Anyway, do a search!! How many times is this emphsized on?? Doing a search on the GENERAL FORUM will definately clear all your doubts as I've read so many people talking and explaining about them before!
