Lesson details
Key learning points
- Move: building a rally of clearly identifiable shots and moving your opponent around the court creates space to attack.
- Think: hitting the shuttle to different areas including the rear backhand area puts pressure on your opponent.
- Feel: it requires self-motivation to keep trying even when your opposition is more experienced/playing better.
- Connect: limiting the shots a better player can use helps ensure everyone is challenged and gets the chance to improve.
Keywords
Lift - hitting the shuttle up in the air defensively
Formation - the positioning of doubles players depending on attack (front-back) or defense (side-by-side)
Disguise - altering the appearance of a shot to conceal where you intend to hit it
Common misconception
It is essential to attack at all times.
Often it can be just as effective to consistently get the shuttle back into play, keeping the shuttle in and forcing your opposition to make mistakes by varying pace and placement on the court.
