Okay, mabye not most amzing shot - but definately most amazing Net-Shot last year I was playing a game In a long rally I was out of position chasing down a netshot in the backhand corner - Knowing I had no way of reaching it I decided in blind faith to throw my racket at the shuttle - I tossed it head-first... the racket was probly about 16 inches from my hand in mid-air when it made a really tight net shot - a Jedi could not have made a better shot. unfortunately with no racket in my hand for next shot - it was easy push shot winner for opponent. I was like OMG! that was awsome - but he was not impressed,
I remember once using a 3 finger grip (index, middle and thumb) on the butt of the grip just to get just a few more centimetres to reach the shuttle. Luckily I way able to win that rally since I still had my racquet in hand.
haha, happened when i was playing doubles. the other guy carried on. i had to crawl onto the other side of the net to retrieve my racquet. then we lost
how come? anyways, it was a friendly game. but there have been instances in proper tournaments that i've seen(local) it done and worked.
I remember a shot did by my opponent in a game. He did a drop shot and the it was clearly going out. So I did not move to the shuttle at all. then the shuttle hit the top of the post and bounced back inside. I was stunned at that moment. What the hell!!
I believe in a real tournament, it's illegal. It's something about the rules saying you cannot cross your racket over to the other side unless following up on a shot. There's also another one that says you can't intentionally distract your opponent by under the net or something i cant remember
haha ok. and i guess crawling over to the opponents side to get my racquet breaks the foot past net rule ahhh. it was fun though. but over here, hardly anyone cares really. besides, the prize money for winning a junior tournament is like $25-$40 NZD. not much to fight over lol.
I've seen that before too. I remember one time my opponent cleared it deep to my backhand so I cleared it back and I accidentally dropped my racket. It was behind the baseline so I had to quickly go grab it and return to the centre of the court where I knew he was going to smash it . Then I realized that it was on the floor on his side of the net just sitting on the line... I definetely got lucky that time.
someone does a shot like tht and u argue about the rules, jeez lol it was amazing end of, now bend this spoon without toching it!!!
wait a minute.. I'm not even remembering the shot correctly No, I didnt throw the racket straight - I just threw it and it did one revolution 360 degrees before contacting the shuttle ... I couldn't have possibly thrown it straight ... If I threw it straight the shuttle would have died on the strings - no, it was backhand and I had to extend my arm to throw it so it would have spun the racket...the spinning motion had enough momentum to propel the shuttle over .... This was like 2 years ago now and never really thought about it since - yea so thats how it actually happend. Also hard to remember perhaps because I was falling on my face when I threw the shot - so only caught a glimpse of what happend .. Its funny how I looked at opponent with expression like "did you F!@king see that?" and he didnt even acknowledge that it was the greatest shot ever... I even said "... yea, I meant to do that! " .... and thats why I'm the Champ!
I'm sure these have been done before, but only in the rarest of situations: 1) I hit a net shot that rolled down the net, and my practice partner/opponent somehow got the bird without touching the net and hit a net shot that rolled right back over. Needless to say, we were both SHOCKED~! 2) My opponent once hit consecutive drops that rolled over the net, I somehow the first one, but he nailed me with the second one. 3) My opponent once thought I was going to drop, rushed forward, I cleared, he rushed back, did a sideways barrel roll in the air, and somehow hit it over. He also did another similar shot, except without the barrel roll. Very nice...
