While playing Badminton singles matches you want to try to keep the opponent at the back of the court. To do this if you are serving you want to do a long serve into the back lines of the court as you cannot serve into the Tram lines.
Serving Short
While playing Badminton Doubles you are more likely to want to use a short serve. If you use a short serve into the Tram lines then they really have to stretch and hit the shuttle upwards. Then from there you have the chance to quickly smash it down.

Backhand Flick Serve
During Badminton it is also important to do a backhand serve so that you can trick how you are playing. They do not know whether you are going to go long or wide. If they run forward they may have to run back suddenly. This serve means that you can have complete control over the rall.

Drop Shots
The Drop shot
In Badminton you want to make sure that you sometimes do the most annoying shot for the person you are playing to reach or hit. If they are expecting a fair shot and you use a drop shot then they will have to force the shuttle upwards and then you have the chance to smash the shuttle.
The overhead Drop Shot
While playing Badminton it can be a sudden shock to the person playing you when you are at the back of the court looking as if you are hitting the shuttle to the back of the court and then tapping it to the front. This is a very useful and good shoot to use as you can just suddenly trick them and make then sprint to the front of the court to reach the shuttle.

Defending
Backhand Clearing
As you play badminton you need to be able to clear the shuttle as well as being able to attack well. If you are right handed and the shuttle goes to the far right of you might to not want to have to run around the other side of it. You turn almost and flick it backwards back over the net.
Block Shot
During Badminton you should not always do shots that you wait for the shuttle to come to you. Sometimes you should approach the shuttle. This shot is so that you take the power of the opponent’s shot. This means that the shuttle can just bounce of the racket back over the net. This means that the opponent cannot now attack but has to defend.
