In badminton, the overhead forehand shot requires using the entire body, as the player pushes on one leg, raises the elbow and rotates the forearm for the shot. Practice the overhead forehand shot with advice from the president of a university badminton club in this free video on racquet sports.
Don't shuffle or backpedal. Turn and run to hit overheads. Learn how to set up overheads and lobs in tennis footwork from a professional instructor in this free sports video.
Use the overhead forehand swing when the shuttle is coming from a high trajectory, such a deep serve or a clear shot.
'An overhead should be hit with authority and needs to be practiced, so therefore it's a finishing shot. Hit it once and have it be the final shot. It becomes more important to know and learn in advanced doubles.' - Bill Van Keuren, USPTR Certified Instructor and Director of Tennis at Eddy Farm Inn & Sports Resort.
