What is the difference between a "jabbing" net shot and a "j-shape" net shot? When and why would you use them?
No, the J-shape is just as easy, provided that you're in position early and can take the shuttle very close to the net. In the second clip you're standing too far away; your front foot needs to be well in front of the service link to play this shot effectively. When you're closer, you can play the shot with mainly finger and wrist action, very little arm movement, as nbonkowsky says above--it's a small movement that's easier to control, and you'll get more spin.So J-Shape shots are a lot harder to execute effectively, due to the added sideways motion imparted halfway through the swing?
