    After seeing the Gade Feint at Peter Gade's site, I wanted to make a thread devoted to cool moves. It doesn't have to work well as long as it's cool! :D
    Just write down moves that you've invented or seen.

    Oh there is this one move that I tried in practice but yet in a real game. FAKE JUMPSMASH

    Ok first when there is an high clear that is jump-smash able, even if you cant jump smash, jump for it a bit earlier but try to remain in the air for as long as possible. Then swing your racket as close to the bird as possible but miss it. Continue the follow through of the fake smash and kinda spin/turn/twist your body in mid air so you wond land facing the opposite direction you were facing before the jump smash (most likely now your back is towards the net). Now hit a quick dropshot while the bird is dropping to complete the trick

    This involves alot of body control, and timing and only works well if you are able to fake the smash well enough. I did it once by luck and hurt myself a bit most of the other times i tried it.

    Behind the back, between the legs. I also think that forehand recovery while running backwards is cool.

    I've seen this a couple of times too, a fake drive/clear, then dropping the racket to do a drop.

    The Groin Smash
    It's the same as the average smash but with the "oomph" at the end.
    It's an artform. I perfected it! :cool:
