Hi, Just came back from the club. Today when we were playing doubles, one of our opponents hit a drop (or net shot, can't remember) and the birdie just hanged on the net! It happened to me two times earlier as well and the whole club stops to watch it! My partner even said that we should take a photo! Because its just 'hanged' on the net, I ask the opponents to play a let. I mean its not on their side and neither on ours! What do you guys do...
I've already seen this in the final of an international open!! I think the decision depends on what side the shuttle is pointing to: in that case (in the open I saw), A played the shuttle which "hanged" on the net towards B... who played the shuttle without touching the net and won the point! if the shuttle had been pointing towards the other side, B couldn't play it though and I'm not sure how the point would have been counted...
Yes, but your shuttle was standing on the tape and mine was lying with the cork facing us...but I wish one day I will also be able to do what you did Kwun...
It happened last week in a game i was watching. He sliced the net shot so that it spun perpendicular to the net, and so close it managed to nose its way into the net on the other side, pointing back this way. They called a let-was that the right decision?
