    on quick lunge after a hop if the drop is fast, a step and lunge if its slow, so i can play a tight one at the net

    oh for the back hand corner, i do a hitch and lunge and the length of the lunge depends on the speed and trajectory of the shuttle

    Depends. If I go for a net kill, its a half step in that direction with the closer foot, then a "jump" to the kill. If it's just a normal hit, 2 steps.

    15 years ago when i was still fit for singles - two to two and a half steps ;)

    now - one step then dive, and watch the shuttle come back with my elbows and knees on the ground :eek:

    two point five steps.

    why do the moderators not allow us to type short characters like "2.5 steps"

    Ideally two steps left foot forward then right foot lunge. 3 steps if from the rearcourt right-left-right.

    I believe the number of steps also has to do with the person's physical built. Surely a player who's 5'2 and a player who's 6'5 will be very different. :rolleyes:

    Yeah it depends , on the build of the player. And the opponents shot , and where you are standing.

    Lots of variables - thats why badminton is so interesting :)!
