How to Perform a Badminton Smash
by Badminton Doubles on April 15th, 2010
The smash is the most aggressive shot in badminton, it is an overhead shot hit hard, steeply downwards, and preferably hit either to a spot out of your opponent's reach, or hit into their body so it is hard to return (the hip on their racket side being a particularly good spot).
Your objective is to either score a winner or get a weak return which sets you up for a winning finishing shot.
