Net Shots in Badminton
Net shots are delicate strokes played close to the net, aiming to land the shuttlecock in the opponent’s forecourt.
Technique
- Forehand Net Shot:
- Grip: Use the thumb grip for better control.
- Swing: Push the shuttlecock gently over the net with a slight wrist movement.
- Follow-through: Keep the follow-through minimal to maintain control.
- Backhand Net Shot:
- Grip: Use the backhand grip.
- Swing: Use a gentle, upward flick of the wrist.
- Follow-through: Ensure a minimal follow-through for precision.
Key Points
