il start it off i was going to block a smash and was too slow and it hit me square on my middle finger fist knuckle and went over the net
i was following a shuttle that was going out on a flick serve, tried to get away from it but landed square on my head. :O
okay i was having a match against this other guy. and his teammates were encouraging him and cheering him a bit. this lady coach came over and watch the game. i served high and he tried to do a big smash. he swung really fast and hard i think and he completely missed the shuttle. my serve landed in. i was in my mind "wtf, nice try but no you dont try to smash me so hard just because people are watching" btw, he's on the other team. i'm on my team. different colleges.
one tournament i played in, i was playing this guy. he made four air shots i.e. he missed completely in a row, twice off a serve. he put so much effort into it, but just always missed. the guy umpiring couldn't stop laughing. when i had to umpire another game, it was mixed. and one guy from my team had this nice forehand serve, a flick, which was really low. won 8 points in a row off it. so, on the 9th serve, he flicks it really low again to the girl. the guy is standing in the other square and cries really loudly "OUT!" it hits him square on the groin. i couldn't breath for the next 10 minutes.
I went down low to lift a good drop shot by my opponents, but in making the shot I let go of my racket. The rearcourt player, as I knew he would, smashed straight at me... so I kicked the shuttle back for a perfect tight net shot. The coach burst out laughing and commiserated that he couldn't give me the point. There's one guy with whom I play singles who has a killer backhand... except for the time he let go of his racket on a baseline clear. It sailed about 20 feet into the air and hit a basketball backboard overlooking the court. I collapsed and couldn't finish the match.
i was playing mixed and my partner had her racket up infront of me, i served and surely enough, hit her racket...
Last monday, My father who is 61 moved to execute a power clear and the shuttle got caught between his strings!!, like the way it gets caught in the squares of the net. I've never seen that before and neither the opponents. This is only probable with his Prince racquet because it is one of those diamond shaped head ones with the strings quite far apart (there are fewer lattitude strings than conventional racquets) and his tension is about 17lbs. It's a strange day to witness someone trying to dislodge a shuttle from their racquet and then play on.
did the strings snap? i've seen a few people snap there strings by making the shuttle go through the strings
keeping my low profile , action ready position behind my parnter while he is serving, then i heard it then i smell it
when an opponent is going to smash but instead of hitting at the sweet spot, he hits it with the frame and the bird becomes a drop....
Witness a drive shot, in which it hit the tape and thinking it was about to roll over, dangles on top of the tape hanging by the edge of the cork.
is an acronym for "what the f......" I wont post what the f-word is, but i assume u can deduce what it is...
i smashed and the racket head hit my two "jingle bells"... wtf that hurt i couldn't stand up for 5 mins...
I was rallying with a friend when I hit a powerful drive that went through a hole in the net... But the hole wasnt noticable so everyone was like W>T>F!
I was playing doubles in my rec club and lifted the birdie over one of my opponents who was out of position. As the birdie went over his head to my utter amazement and disbelief... he called it out. He didn't turn his head or even attempt to look where it was going to land. Of course it plunks down at the back of the doubles service area... and he insisted it was out until his partner said it was in and pointed to where the birdie landed. I was completely dumbfounded to say the least... there is cheating when a shot is close... then there is cheating when you are watching the birdie... but to cheat when it is so obvious you have no clue where the birdie is.
