Tactic movements
|
|
|
Any
deceptive movement that disconcerts an opponent before or during the
service; often called a "feint." (To make an incomplete
or misleading motion). |
|
|
An
illegal tactic, also called a sling or throw, in which the shuttle
is caught and held on the racquet and then slung during the execution
of a stroke. |
|
|
A
shot hit deep to the opponent’s back boundary line. The high
clear is a defensive shot, while the flatter attacking clear is used
offensively. |
|
|
A
fast and low shot that makes a horizontal flight over the net. |
|
|
A
shot hit sohly and with finesse to fall rapidly and close to the net
on the opponent’s side. |
|
|
A
quick wrist and forearm rotation that surprises an opponent by changing
an apparently soft shot into a faster passing one; used primarily
on the serve and at the net. |
|
|
Shot
made from below and very close to the net with the shuttle rising,
just clearing the net, and then dropping sharply down the other side.
The shuttle’s flight approximates the shape of a hairpin. |
|
|
A
shot hit low and to midcourt, used effectively in doubles against
the up-and-back formation. |
|
|
Fast,
downward shot that cannot be returned; a "putaway." Let
- A legitimate cessation of play to allow a rally to be replayed.
Long Service Line - In singles, the back boundary line.1n doubles
a line 2 l/2 feet inside the back boundary line. The serve may not
go past this line. |
|
|
Shot
hit from the forecourt that just clears the net and drops sharply. |
|
|
Gentle
shot played by pushing the shuttle with little wrist motion, usually
from net or midcourt to the opponent’s midcourt. |
|
|
Hard-hit
overhead shot that forces the shuttle sharply downward. Badminton’s
primary attacking stroke. |
|
|
Shot
that results when the base of the shuttle is hit by the frame of the
racquet. Once illegal, this shot was ruled acceptable by the International
Badminton Federation in 1963. |
