When should you do a drive shot, net or other techniques? In this post, I'm going to talk about 6 important rules to help you get started in crafting your own Badminton strategy.
An Overview of a Strategy in Badminton
The rule of thumb is simple; the strategies you create must help you score points and stop your opponent from scoring points. With that in mind, strategies will differ with different opponents as they have different strengths and weakness.
The Killer Misconception
A common misconception is that student wants a one size fits all solution, like a particular technique that can score a lot of points. And for me to feed that ideology would be poisonous as they would only use this technique when playing against any opponents.
Instead, a better approach would be to understand the fundamentals of a good strategy and practice creating them to beat specific opponents. That’ll leave you with no choice but to work those thinking muscles!
Here are the 6 rules that you’ll need to know
How to Score
1) Vary your strategy according to the opponent
2) Choose to attack versus rallying/defending the shuttle
3) Attack your opponent's Baseline Backhand corner (If applicable)
4) Exploit your opponent's Bad Habits
How to Not Lose Points
1) Get Focused before you serve/receive the shuttle
2) Notice your opponent's scoring trend
This list is not exhaustive but it’ll get you started on a solid foundation. As you get better along the way you’ll find new principles that work across the board so don’t get fixated on this 6 rules, ultimately Badminton is an evolving sport with better methodologies and equipment being created so we’ve gotta be open and improve along with the sport!
In the meantime keep smashing and I wish you the best of luck!
