Perform a Full Swing to Hit a Solid Badminton Clear
Question
Hi, how can I make a solid clear for badminton??
Answer:
The key to doing a solid clear is to do a “full arm swing” when executing your clear shot. Many people make mistakes by just touching the shuttlecock with the racquet rather than hitting it with a full swing.
There’s NO NEED for a strong swing.
All you need to do to perform a solid clear is:
- Extend both your arms to the widest extent possible
- Swing your racquet towards the shuttlecock and make sure your swing goes all the way down to your lower body (your arm doing a full arm swing)
If you executed a SOLID BADMINTON CLEAR, you should hear a fairly loud and ‘solid’ sound when your racquet touches the shuttlecock.
