Preparatory Position
- Grip: on the forehand side, be sure the handle is in the
base of your fingers – this greatly facilitates your “touch”; on the backhand
side, use full backhand grip
|
|
Wind-Up Phase
- Be in a “lunge” position, with and extended racquet arm
- Racquet should extend naturally from the hand, approximately
45deg from the forearm
- Racquet face virtually parallel to the floor
- Racquet foot forward, toe pointing towards the net corner
|
|
Force Producing/Contact Phase
- Hit and land (with racquet foot) at the same time
- The stroke is a “cutting underneath action”, where
the parallel racquet head displaces the head of the shuttle causing it it
tumble end over end.
- Contact should be made wide of the racquet shoulder on
the forehand side, and wide on the non-racquet shoulder on non-racquet side.

Follow Through
- There is very little follow through in the net shot
