Outline

  1. Hold the racket by placing the thumb on racket so that it will make 180* degree angle with the face (Backhand Grip).
  2. Stand 2–3 feet (0.6–0.9 m) behind the service line
  3. Bring your racket back to your waist level and start swinging forward.
  4. Hold the shuttle by the feathers and bring it close to meet the racket instead of dropping it. Hit the shuttle at a higher point, but still below your waist, and push it with the racket face, trying to make it just skim the tape of the net.
  5. Once you see that the shuttle is coming low and in front of you, you'll need to hit that forehand to beat your opponent.
  6. Drop the racket head down and behind you. Make sure that the racket extends out behind you.
  7. Keep your knees bent and ready to move.
  8. Move forward with your racket foot.
  9. Keep your arm nearly straight as you swing the racket, snapping your wrist at the last possible second before you hit the shuttle.
  10. Have an open racket face and swing the racket upward to generate momentum. Follow through until your racket hits near your opposing shoulder.
