Having netting troubles? Look no further! The video below will take your through the easiest method to learn the badminton net shot in just 3 simple tips.

For your convenience, we have also provided you with some drills to perfect the net shot you’ve always wanted!

Tip one: Take the net shot high

How high? As high as you can!

Taking the shuttle high not only eases the execution of the technique, but also makes the shot reach the ground on the opposite court faster. This also gives you a better angle to change techniques should you anticipate your opponent coming forward. 

Last time I checked, that was a good thing!

Tip two: Keep your racket in a high ready position

Having your racket held up high slightly below shoulder level, helps position yourself properly for the execution of the net shot. It also helps you appear more aggressive, which will strike fear into the hearts of your opponent.

In the likely event that your opponent leaves a loose net return, having your racket held high can also allow you to quickly perform a net kill to end the rally fast!

Tip 3: Keep your net shot simple

A well-executed net shot trumps the execution of a poorly executed spin net. Getting your basics right also makes it much easier to learn more advanced techniques in the future such as the spin net. For our guide on how to do the spin net click here!
