Badminton is a fun sport and a great form of exercise. To be a knockout (

lighting-fast feet, strong technique, and

a cunning sense of strategy.

If you already know how to play badminton but

want to do it even better, you have to find a way to maximize your strengths

and exploit your opponent's weaknesses.

Method 1 of 3: Master the Basics

1

Always hit the center of the shuttle

（梭子）

.

You should hit the round rubber

center, or the

shuttle every single time. You can practice this technique by looking right at the

center of the shuttle when you hit an overhead shot.

2

Hit the shuttle at the top of its

arc

（弧度）

.

To benefit from the speed and height generated by the shuttle, hit it at the top

of its arc. This will allow you to shoot a killer overhead and to have more

control over the position of the shuttle. Don't wait for the shuttle to come close

to you, or it will be losing momentum

and height

.

3

Don't get out of position after you hit the shuttle. Return to the middle of the

back of the court. This will make it more difficult for your opponent to run you

around and to hit the shuttle in a place that you can't reach. Standing in the

middle of the court while moving your feet and preparing for the next shot will

place you in the

Always return to the middle of the court.

4

Hit the shuttle toward the back line.

Hitting the shuttle toward the back line takes precision

（精度）

and strength,

and it will make your opponent have to shuffle backwards and hit the shuttle

with a considerable amount of strength to return your shot. If you're not sure

where to hit the shuttle next, and the back line is wide open, aim it there. At the

beginning, aim the shuttle a bit before the back line so you don't commit a fault

if it falls out of bounds behind the back line.

5

Practice your footwork.

Badminton is like tennis -- success is all in the footwork. If you're flat-foo ted

无准备的）

on the court, you won't be able to return your shots. Instead, stay

on your toes, move your feet up and down as you wait to return a shot, and move

your feet back and forth and side to side in tiny motions

（动作）

to position

yourself to return the shot. Don't be lazy and reach out your hand too wide to try to

return the shuttle -- instead, make tiny movements with your feet until the shuttle

is in perfect position.

6

Practice the short serve

（发球）

.

Whether you're playing singles or doubles, the short serve will catch your

opponent off guard. He won't be expecting it, and may not be able to run up to

return the serve in time. To hit the short serve, you shouldn't just hit the shuttle

really lightly, or it will fall on your side of the court. Instead, hit it at a higher

contact point and drop it closer to the racket instead of in front of the racket.

7

Practice the long serve in singles.

In singles, hitting a long serve all the way to the back of the service line will

throw your opponent off guard. He may be standing in front of the shuttle and

can miss it completely, or he may not have enough power to return it. To hit a

longer serve, let the shuttle fall in front of you as you swing your racket further

back almost to your shoulder level so you generate more momentum before

you swing forward and hit the shuttle.

8

Never give up.

Always try to hit the birdie. If you hit the birdie and don't always do so, you can

surprise your opponent and it will fall to the ground unchallenged.

Method 2 of 3: Exploit Your Opponent's Weaknesses

1

Understand your opponent's game.

When you're playing a new opponent, whether it's at a competition or during a

friendly game at a family outing, you should asses your opponent's game even

while you're warming up. You should look for a few main things: if your

opponent is more of an aggressive or defensive player, if his forehand or

backhand is his dominant shot, and any weaknesses, such as slow footwork or

weak drop shot returns, that you can exploit.

.

2

Make your opponent move around the court.

Don't hit all of your shots to the same location of the court of your opponent will

be able to predict your next move every time. Instead, mix things up by hitting

a drop shot followed by a shot to the baseline, or by moving your opponent

from the right to the left side of the court. Moving from the front to the back of

the court is particularly tricky unless your opponent has very nimble feet.

.

3

Shoot toward your opponent's backhand.

Many players are weaker on the backhand side, so try shooting toward your

opponent's backhand and see if this makes your opponent return less shots. If

so, continue to exploit your opponent's backhand.

.

4

Hit a simple short shot.

When you're up at the net, simply hit the shuttle short, just barely over to your

opponent's side. This will make your opponent run and will catch him off guard

（不堤防

. This is a great technique if your opponent is positioned near the

back line.
