So it was your mom who laughed? I lost all my self-confidence at that time.

Thankfully no

. That's not to say I haven't had my fair share of embarrassing moments (catching the shuttle in my hand when it was about to go out - nerves... what the heck?

)! I'm just glad none of them have been quite like that

. I guess it's one advantage of not jump smashing too often! He's quite good at tennis though, I guess the timing is why he misses it a lot. Speaking of timing, you should see me try to pull off a tennis smash...

Heheh, sorry about that. I would too. She's done it to just about everyone though. She's terrible like that (maybe I should stop bringing her along).

Also we've got this thing going where when someone drops their racquet, everyone else in the hall simultaneously drops their own racquet too (even at a tournament, assuming you're not in the middle of a rally). So it's pretty fun when someone from out of town comes along and isn't expecting it.

hey, even though i was not there ..but after reading your this post. i can imagine the guy's action and your mom laughing so loud

perhaps i watched too much tv already

My funniest moment with badminton when I was 18 playing at a recreational centre that all the kids used to go. I didn't have anything to eat that day so I grabbed a pack of BBQ corn nuts before jumping on the court. While I was playing double standing in front of the net attacking our opponent. I leaped back for a jump smash and I let one big loud rip go off in front of my partner's face while he was standing at the back. The whole gym died laughing while my partner was still on the floor having a heart attack. To this day, we still have a good laugh about it.

Last Sunday playing doubles I was at the net going for a net kill/smash. Swung too early and the shuttle was falling down. Everyone thought the point would be over. But I manage to recover and do a quick wrist flick to send the shuttle just over the net. My opponents and partner was like...WTF?!?

It was funny seeing their expression.

Nice, have to try this on purpose... Sounds like a nice deception/trick.
