MULTISHUTTLE
The next few Drills&Tips will be on various ways of using multishuttle feeding as part of the badminton training sessions on court and we will present exercises for practising different strokes and footwork patterns.
We start this time by presenting 3 exercises that are widely used for practising back-front movement as well as playing an attacking style in singles. The object of the exercises is to play at a high tempo and with consistency (no mistakes).

EXERISES

1. The feeder is feeding from the service line on his side. He plays every second shot a high lift and a netshot. The feeder can choose randomly where/what side the high lift is played but the netshot must always be at the same side as the lift. The netshot must be high enough for the worker to kill or brush of. The worker should try an play a attacking shot from the back (smash or fast drop) and then follow it up by going quickly to the net. Use 12-20 shuttles.
2. Very similar to the first exercise. The feeder still must play every second a high lift and a netshot but he can now choose freely where to place the netshots as well as before the high lifts. This means that it is harder for the worker to anticipate at the net and he must sometimes play a netshot instead of a kill at the net in order to keep the mistakes out. Use 12-20 shuttles.
3. In this last exercise the feeder can play randomly lifts and netshots. Remembered that the purpose of the exercise is for the worker to practise attack play in high tempo and this means that the feeder must make sure that the feeding is so that the worker has a chance to attack. Use 12-20 shuttles.
