Left/right! Idk! Switch?!

Can we switch hands while playing? Let say that I'm right handed, and the birdie goes to my left side, can I use my left hand to hit it back?

I don't see why you can't do that. But I have yet to see any top players to do that in competitions.

Lol, the pace is too fast for you to switch in competitions xD

Ive played against someone who does this...either it doesnt make it over the net, or its a nice floating shuttle to mid court and... you can guess wat happens next

Let me guess!!! !!! !!!
Is it going to be a ultimate shot that goes WAY out of the court?!

Is there actually a rule that says if you could switch hands or not?

You can switch hands. No rule against that. But be careful, when you hit the bird, only one hand should be touching the racquet. Since two handed racquet grip *is* against the rules.
