I'm going to describe the basics of this match in the game of badminton. This match is a
variant of the overhead forehand shot. This match is a tight fast shot intended to finish
the point or put a maximum of pressure on your opponent. It is rarely done from the
back of the court. It is a two third up front shot destined to really finish the point as
much as possible. The basic of the movement is the same starting point as every forehand
shot with starting from the racket leg, moving up and striking the shuttle as the racket
passes over the shuttle. In the case of this match you actually want to do a down trajectory,
fast down trajectory to the shuttle so you are in the case of most overhand shots whether
it is a clear or a drop the shot is made almost directly over the shoulder. In the case of
the smash you want to take the shuttle a little bit earlier in order to apply a down force
on the shuttle as the racket comes down.
