I've only seen this done once live by Nathan Robertson but recently came across a very short clip of someone else doing it on youtube and can't quite figure out exactly how it is done prpperly. I've tried it but can't get it right.
The general idea is to pick up a shuttle resting on the ground by striking a part of the shuttle against the ground to cause it to rebound up then catching it with your racquet.
It's probably not going to do a lot of good for the shuttle, but I've been wondering how it's done for ages.
Anyone know how it is done?
In this youtube video of Fu Hai Feng teaching the smash, there's a very short clip at 1min 23-24 secs of someone doing it.
