Strokes of Badminton

The document discusses four common strokes in badminton: 1. The clear shot is a defensive shot played from the back court that sends the shuttle high to give the player time to get back. 2. The drop shot is an attacking shot played from the back court that sends the shuttle in a looping trajectory close to the net, making it difficult for opponents to return. 3. The drive shot is a flat, powerful shot played from mid-court used for defense that is aimed directly over the net. 4. The smash is the most powerful shot, played from the back or mid-court when the shuttle is high, angling it sharply downwards near the net to give opponents less time.

COMMON STROKES OF

BADMINTON
Clear shot
Trajectory: high, towards the back court
Played from: Back court
Purpose: Defensive shot

Aim of this shot is to let the shuttle fly high in the air and
land at your opponent’s back court. It is used when you
need time to get back to the base before the next return or
if you don’t have a clear opportunity to kill and win the
point.
CLEAR/LOB SHOT VIDEO
Drop Shot
Trajectory: Looping close to the net
Played from: Back court
Purpose: Attacking Shot

It is used when the shuttle is heading towards you in the back


court. As an attempt to this stroke, the player must hit
downward towards the opponent’s fore-court, aiming for it to go
just over the net. The closer the shuttle drops to the net, the
harder it is to return.

This shot is used when the opponent is in the back court,


expecting a clear shot or a drive.
DROP SHOT VIDEO
Drive Shot
Trajectory: Flat, towards the body
Played from: Mid-court
Purpose: Defensive Shot

The drive is a flat shot hit directly and slightly over the net. It is
a very powerful and quick counter attacking shot. Your racket
should be held with the head facing straight ahead. It can
sometimes be strategic to aim the shot at your opponent who
will be unable to react or shift his body in time as their natural
reaction will be to duck/avoid the shot.

Played from: Back court/Mid-court
Purpose: To provide less time for the opponent

Most lethal shot in badminton. It can be defined as a drive


angled downwards. It can be used when the shuttle is high in the
air and can be angled downwards.
