We are not only giving the info on terms, but asking BCers to contribute (with more terms that they have mastered/known).

As we know, terms used in different countries can be different. I was hoping that more BCers (from different countries) can contribute with more terms that some of us don't know.

Talking about 'double action', there is also 'triple action'. It all depends on how advanced we are (for our regular BCers), that we are talking about here.

Reverse forehand cut

In Japan, they use the term "hairpin" generally for shots made infront of the net.
Also, they use the word "cut" for sliced dropshots.
They tend to abbrivate "backhand" into "back" only as well. I.e high backhand -> high back.

In Sweden, we say "stop" for shots made infront of the net.

Appreciate if someone can tell me what is the name of this technique so i can properly put a description in our drills. Is it forehand attacking lift? or deceptive lift?

**alexh** · 01-29-2013, 10:03 PM

Personally I'd call it a net flick; for me, a "lift" is a shot played when the shuttle is closer to the ground. See http://www.badminton.tv/content/item...roduction/260/

Thanks. Yes, i agree with you that this stroke can be called a net flick and it starts by showing to your opponent the net shot form then suddenly doing the net flick. Thanks.

For a shot going up high (from an underarm stroke) to the back tram-lines, there are 2 ways of doing it;

* Using a full arm action - which I call it a "LIFT".
* Using mostly a wrist action (with less arm action) - I call it a "FLICK".

Says "Forehand attack shot" in the text, but what you usually call it in Japan is "lob".
In Sweden we use the term "lyft" as in "lift" in English for both attacking and defensive purposes. I prefer to seperate lift and lob though and use the word lift for defensive and lob when attacking (i.e you lift it, but not as high and faster than a defensive lift).

Answering what you have posted;

In Badminton, as soon as you are doing or forced to do an underarm stroke, the term used is usually called a defensive shot.
