Shot Control Exercise (3) Drop-Smash and Net Rush Badminton Drill

In this intermediate badminton training video, Coach Chen Weihua goes over the drop-smash and net rush badminton drill. This badminton drill will strengthen the player's forecourt and backcourt transition movements and improve the player's attacking ability. The drop-smash and net rush drill is a combination of the drop shot, smash, and net play skills discussed in earlier episodes. The attacking player will drop the shuttle to cause the partner to return a lift, then the attacking player attacks with a smash and then rush to control the net. To perform this drill, the attacker needs to be comfortable dropping, smashing, and then rushing the net quickly and perform a net return. The defending partner will lift the shuttle to the training player's backcourt. This drill is very important for developing offensive abilities.
