    sorry.. i am new to this board.. and tried my best to search for an answer before posting..

    we got into a situation, where a mis-communication between the two partner (during double).. and we both went for the shuttle.. I didn't hit the shuttle and my partner hitted it and successfully returned it the opposite side.. but i couldn't stop on time and my racket hitted his racket...

    is this legal? or does this result in a fault?

    thanks,

    It's legal. How you hit the shuttle is all that matters.

    thanks for all the reply.. allow me to ask one more question:

    how about a more classic situation.. partner A and partner B are both going for the shuttle.. and partner A hit the shuttle, and partner B hit partner A racket from behind at the same time.. almost like partner B pushed partner A racket and launched the shuttle to the other side. now in this incident.. really partner B racket never touched the shuttle. But partner B action might have affected the outcome of the shuttle.

    is that legal?

    Perfectly legal, as long as B doesn't create a carry on A racket (although I've never seen this happened before).
