But when your oponent drop in a corner in a officiel game and it's a little to high so you can smash on it and the guy is still at the net. and you smash in his eye. I had it yesterday in a fun game and would to know that there are any rulez about that?
Did the shuttle bounce off his eye back into your side of the court, or did it just drop below the net?
no just in his eye :s I know you may not hit with your body the shuttle back i already did and "the damn bastard " said it was a fault
i didn't meant to do that, but i drop the shuttle and he drops back a little to high and when he come up i just want to smash . But are there any rulez for?
No.... if it touches him then it's your point........ however.... there's usually an "unspoken" rule that everyone understands at club... not to smash at people... for competitive games in must win situations you should do watever you have to to win though.. heh
as a courtesy, all players should not try to aim for their opponents bodies... besides, if they're right at the net, and you're smashing from right at the net, what are the odds of them blocking it? just smash at the sides..
i apologized me hundred times. But if a drop is a little to high , it's normal you smash it. but he was just 30cm for me. And he was still down when i wanted to smash he just come up when i smashed :s But oké now i know there aren't any rulez for it.

I've been playing and coaching for over 27 years and during the course of a rally will aim for the body to restrict the return especially the right shoulder area on a right handed player, of course I always apologise out of courtesay if I hit them, I would never hurt anyone intentionally, another instance would be when receiving serve, one return is to aim for the server or his partner for the same reasons as before. I've just found this site recently and must say that it's so good to hear other players opinions although I don't agree with them all but still find them interesting. I do wish though that people wouldn't use the term "short service" it's a low service, short infers falling short of the service line. While I'm on my hobby horse, what do others think of some of the "calls" in badminton, to me there are only 2, "yes" and "no" usually from the receivers partner to the receiver during service, maybe sometimes "leave" can be used. I've heard players call "watch" "wait" what does that tell your partner other than put doubt in his mind if he was jumping backwards to smash down a flick serve. what's your opinion.
During the rallies, I would only say "no", meaning don't hit it 'cause it's going out, and "mine". After the rallies, I'll be a bit more explicit!
yes...other than receiving serve like during a rally I may call "yours" or "mine" with any shots that both of us could take, such as an central hit attacking clear when we are in a forward defence or when you are in attack and the shuttle is just a shade too high for the net player to kill, but even then if I'm the net player, I try and make a quick decision and duck down to let my partner know visually that it's his....sometimes I still think I'm in my twenties and still jump for it but it usually ends up being a quck dink down to the forecourt area which is ok but it's not a kill, most of the time it's best to leave it for my partner especially if he's young and got a better jump than me.
