Question

What if one person is strong and the other person is weak? What must be the formation then?

Community Answer

The one who is weak should stand in front, because he will not be able to hit, toss, or smash strongly.

Question

What do I do if my partner is tall and I'm short?

Community Answer

Have the taller player stand near the back of the court, while you stand near the front of the court in the attack formation.

Question

Sometimes, my partner and I end up hitting the shuttle together, which ends in confusion plus loss of point. How do I prevent this?

Community Answer

Before you hit it, say "Mine", and then whoever said it would hit the shuttle.

Question

What if I am small and my partner is bit taller than me, but I can play the better defense?

Community Answer

If you are small, then you should be in front and handle all drop shots; your partner is taller, so he or she will be able to take all the toss shots.

Question

Is arm power essential for a smash?

Lydia Lyndenmyer

Community Answer

Partially, but you need a balance between speed and arm strength to smash, as well as a clear sense of aim/direction and momentum.

How do you know who serves?

The person on the left always serves and you switch sides every time you get a point.

Question

Why does my badminton partner catch the shuttle at the beginning of the rally?

Community Answer

Probably because they want to throw the bird into the air and see who serves first based on where it lands.

Question

How do I know when to switch sides?

Community Answer

If you are in the front and your partner is in the back, if they hit across to the front you will switch sides so that you're in the back.

Question

I can't really do a smash because I'm too short. What should I do?

Community Answer

Try to make the net shorter, and, if your opponent is fine with that, you can start to practice it. When you grow taller, raise the height of the net.

Question

Does this apply to tennis as well?

Community Answer

No, because tennis is different from shuttle, because you need to use footwork for badminton and for tennis your wrist must be strong to hit the ball. We also cannot play doubles in tennis several times.

Question

How can I switch positions and who will serve the shuttle?

Community Answer

It depends on who can play which part. If you are good at the back of the court, then play at the back, if you are good in the front, then play in the front. As to who will serve, that depends on who either missed the shuttle or who feels comfortable serving. One may be better than the other.
