How to Hit an Underhand Forehand in Badminton

Use the underhand forehand for shots that are low and in front of you.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Badminton Set

1. Recognize that the shuttle is coming in low and in front of you.

2. Drop the racket head down and behind you, cocking your wrist so that the racket's shaft extends out behind you.

3. Lunge forward with your racket foot.

4. Swing with an almost straight arm, keeping your wrist cocked.

5. Snap your wrist at the last possible moment before contact with the shuttle.

6. Strike the shuttle with an open racket face and an upward swing.

7. Follow through all the way to your opposite shoulder for clear shots, and use very little follow-through for the deceptive drop shot.

8. Recover to your ready position quickly.

Tips & Warnings

• Use less wrist action on a drop shot and more on a clear shot. Both shots should look the same until the last moment.
