Badminton: Forehand Clear

[killwang]

Is forehand clear movement similar to smash movement?

do I need turn my racket 10 degree anti-clockwise before hit the shuttle?

[coachingbadminton]

@killwang Yes, that way yuou can take shuttlecock infront of your body

but be careful that not to change too much as that is also not right. You can try to feel the different. I am sure you will be able to hit cleaner and more powerfully. Lee

@coachingbadminton thanks! In last game I used smash-grip, I feel my smash is more powerful and accurate, however, my forehand clear when use smash-grip is not as good as before, I may need more time to feel and find out why.

@killwang Just be carefull not to turn the grip too much. 10 degree is not too much. Not changing is not good but change too much also not right. Good luck. Lee

Coach, I can't seem to get a follow through every time I hit a clear and a smash despite me having the right grip. Why is that?

[coachingbadminton]

@pjesh Please upload your action clear clip and let me see it then I may be able to advise you what to do or what to not do. Lee

I think coach Lee means "normal" clear not "global" clear. I think his accent makes it sound like heʻs saying global clear. lol

What about the punch clear

[OPF1206]

whats the diff between global and attack clear ?

[coachingbadminton]

@OPF1206 I am not sure what you mean by "global" is it high clear?

If so, there is clear difference between them. Attack clear is very flat and give no time for opponent to respond

with good posture so opponent have very limited choice of return. Normally players choose this shot

when he/she is having much time to hold the shuttle cock before making shot so it becomes deceptive.

The attack clear is a very important skill to learn to control opponent.
