Forehand clear

Badminton / Popular

Send the shuttle deep from the rear court with a relaxed overhead action.

What coaches agree on

  • Hold a relaxed forehand grip, with loose fingers and a little gap between them, gripped slightly further down the handle for extra leverage.
  • Generate power from the ground up: rotate your legs and hips first, then drive your elbow forward, and finally snap your forearm through the shuttle like throwing a ball.

  • Prepare a clear with the exact same setup as your smash and drop, so opponents can't tell which shot is coming until the last moment.
