Overhead Clear

A "clear" shot is important to allow you time to get back into the ready position, but it can also be used offensively. If a clear shot has a direct trajectory it is sometimes called a DRIVE. Regardless, the objective is to hit into your opponent's back court-- as close to that back line as possible. What did you learn about supination and pronation in this video?

  2. This technique is my most favorite one. I like it because you can use a lot of power and show your fierceness to your opponent. I also like it because it forces your opponent to scramble to the rear court.

  4. This is my favorite technique. It can speed up or slow down the pace of the game, and it's also one of the easier techniques to master. Plus, the purpose of this technique is to smack it as hard as you can!

  5. I want to be able to hit the Birdie her. I'm so jealous! it takes a lot of skill to know when to speed up and slow down. Also they look really athletic when they hit it. Their form is perfect!

  6. I like this technique because if you can place it correctly, it is almost impossible for the other player to return it, especially if they are standing in the front of the court. I find myself using this technique quite a bit because it then sets me up for a drop shot.

  7. Wow I like this technique because it become both an offense and defense technique. Offensive because you can get a smash and defensive because you can send the birdie to the back of your opponents court to give yourself time to reset.
