Hello,
In one of the videos at www.ibbs.tv it is said that one argument for hitting the shuttle in front of you is to be able to see the oponent at the same time as the shuttle. I've never thought of this but it makes a lot of sense.
After seeing this video, I tried focusing on this while playing and I've observed that it is actually impossible for me to see the oponent while doing a drop from the back of the court. The shuttle is rather above me so I can see the ceiling but not the opponent. This made me a few times send the shuttle exactly where my oponent was (because he doesn't always go back to the center).
Can some more advance players tell me if they are able be able to see the position of their opponents even when they drop or smash from the back?
Thanks,
nicolae
