wa the one hardest isnt here man..it should be a backhand cross court smash..2nd is the backhand cross court clear..
the reverse cut is the one i can't master. i can pull off about 1 in 10, but the other 9 are either off the frame or that obvious that its game over (if) it gets over the net :crying:
i can't do proper drop.... esp cross-court drop...its either hitting the net or a bit too high...yea, need more practice...
To me.. for singles, I think the most difficult skill to master would be the overhead lobs, chops, smash and drops.. What is important to me is that the all of my overhead shots must have the same technique in order to make it difficult for the opponent to know where my shots are headed. As for doubles, I think the most difficult stoke to cover would be my backhand low serve.. I've been always playing with the forehand serve since 20 years ago and i'm taking a slow time to adapt to the backhand low serve as today, every serve which does not go in is a point..

For me the hardest shot is jump smash. It's hard to bend your legs & get the timing to hit the shuttle. N off course, it must be a sharp one..
I don't know how this shot is called. But it's something that I have done only once in my entire life. The shot goes like this ... when I go near the net and do a counter drop shot, and then my opponent clears the shuttle towards the rear court, and I have to literally run away from the net (of course with my back facing the opponent) to reach the shuttle at the rear and hit the shuttle knee level with my back still facing the opponent. Get it?
Hitting through your legs is hard. My basic badminton is strong, so I decided to learn a trick shot. I struggled with it at first, but now I can do it quite well and it's surprisingly useful. One of my opponents was particularly upset when he thought he'd hit a smash through my legs, only for it to be returned and due to the fact he hadn't anticipated it, he failed to get to my shot. Backhand drives from the back of your court to the back of the opponent's is very hard too. If possible I avoid using backhand drives and move for a forehand or play a round the head shot.
no. It's not a backhand. it's actually a forehand, except that you're hitting the shuttle backwards at the same level as your knees. see the attachment (sorry ... i'm not an artsy-craftsy person )
OMG! The pic is really embarrassing. I only used MS Paint. I tried to draw a 2-D man with the mouse, but it was really difficult. Thus, I just used stick drawing. I hope it depicted my description. Anyways, you say you've been in this situation several times? Were you always successful with the return? Wow ! You've gotta teach me.
practice doing a crosscourt with this shot...and sometimes you could get lucky! If possible, don't forget to add a backhand feint(pretending to hit it with bachand) before the shuttle drops lower and you hit it from knee level...hope you get what i mean
wouldn't that be much harder? I mean, in this situation, you're stuggling to reach the birdie at the rear court. There wouldn't be any time for you to do a "backhand feint."
maybe i put it in a wrong way....the feint isn't done elaborately...instead it's just the preparation action for a backhand clear...
Net Crosscourt -_-! I still got those too fast sometimes... (Especially when carried away with the game )
doesnt matter, it is still a useless shot, only for the look. If u r back into a corner for that desperate shot, that shot is useless. I would still try to try use my backhand shot.
Couldn't Agree More! Although I'd say if you "master" it, that will be a surprising shot. Surprise mean : benefit!
