Hello and welcome back to Badminton Insight. In  this video we're going to show you every shot  

you need to know in badminton! Yeah and we hope  it will be a useful resource that you can keep  

referring back to no matter if you're trying to  learn and improve yourself or coaching others  

and we're also going to give a difficulty  rating for each shot so if you're a beginner  

try and focus on the easier shots first and  if you're more advanced then see if you can  

master them all! So let's start at the back of  the court here we have a smash, a stick smash,  

a clear and a drop shot of which there are  actually seven different types; the standard drop,  

straight slice, cross court  slice, cross-court reverse slice,

straight reverse slice, loopy drop and stop drop  

still in the rear court we also have a  backhand smash, backhand clear and a backhand drop

and finally a late forehand and a late backhand  

It's important to mention that you can play almost  all of these shots in the video both straight and  

cross-court with a very similar technique  but we don't want to say both straight and  

cross-court for every shot. Okay moving on to  the mid-court when your opponents are playing  

their shot flat over the net or upwards you can  play a drive, a layoff, or a lift over the top  

and when your opponents are hitting the shuttle  downwards and you're in a defensive position  

you can play a block, a push which lands a  bit deeper into the court, a drive or a lift.

all of these shots can either be played  from your forehand or back on side  

and lastly a shout out to the brap which is  another defensive shot we recently did a video on  

so moving on to the net now; you can play a  high lift, a regular height lift or a flat lift  

and if you want to avoid lifting which we'd often  advise then you can play a basic doubles net shot  

or one of three singles net shots;  an in to out, out to in or a dead net  

We've done videos on all of these on our  channel if you want to check them out after this  

you also of course have the cross court net  shot which again has a different technique  

three more shots around the  net are a net kill, a brush off  

and a poke - again from either your forehand or  backhand side. Next are the different serves and  

return of service you need to know. From the  backhand these are a low serve, drive serve and flick serve 

and from the forehand  you can do all of these plus a high serve

you can also change the direction in which you hit  these serves; either towards the centre line, to the  

middle of the half or out wide. Now for the return  of serve there's no real new shots here that we've  

not already covered in this video - from the low  serve you can play a net shot, lift, drive or push  

and from the flick serve or high serve you can  play a smash, a clear or one of the seven different  

types of drop shots. So that's 60 shots you need  to know in badminton although there are a few  

difficult ones in there but that number doesn't  include any deceptive shots or trick shots and if  

you want to learn the technique for any of these  shots then we've already made tutorials for a lot  

of these which we'll include in this playlist here  and lastly don't forget to SMASH the subscribe
