Answer:
is one of the few sports that do not use a ball. Instead of a ball, shuttlecocks or birdies are hit back and forth over the net. When a shuttlecock is gently tapped, it will fly in a slow arching pattern. When it is hit hard, the shuttlecock can leave the racket at speeds over 110 miles per hour! However, the shape of the shuttlecock quickly slows down its speed, making it possible for the defender to return some of the hard hit shots.
There are five different types of badminton shots or strokes: Serves, clears, smashes, drives and drops. Each of the five different shots used in different situations throughout the game. Since the object of badminton is to hit the shuttlecock so that your opponent cannot return it, each of the five types of shots has its own definite advantages and disadvantages.
•Serves:
The serve is the way the shuttle is put into play. Typically, the serves in badminton are different for singles and doubles play. In singles, you want to serve with a high long shot that will land near the back of your opponent’s court. In doubles, you want to use a low and short serve that will land near the front of your opponent’s court.
•Clears:
A clear is hitting the birdie high and deep into the opponent’s court. It can be used as a defensive hit to make sure your opponent cannot smash the shuttle at you or use it to keep your opponent on the move. There is an underhand clear, which is hit using the same motion as the serve. On the overhand clear, you want the birdie behind your body.
•Smash:
A smash is an offensive hit which is very similar to a spike in volleyball. You will find that the smash will be your main offensive shot in winning points. When doing a smash, you want the shuttle in front of the body.
•Drive:
A drive is a quickly hit shot that travels without much arch. Like a line-drive in baseball, the drive is a strong shot that travels about shoulder height. The racket should contact the shuttle in a straight up and down position so that the flight is straight.
•Drop shot:
A drop shot can be hit as a forehand, backhand or overhand hit. The drop shot is hit so that the shuttle gently drops over the net and lands in the front of your opponent’s court.
