In Badminton, there are may different types of shots that are able to be performed. The forehand clear is a very common hit that is easy to perform and counter. It causes the shuttlecock to fly very high and slowly.

Here I will show you how an athlete that is in the cognitive stage of learning of badminton.

The athlete in the picture bellow is performing forehand clear. we can see that he is looking up the shuttle and keeping eye contact with it. The one thing that he is not doing is stepping back enough in order for the athlete to take a step when hitting the shuttle. We can see in the photo to the left that he is not making contact with the shuttle with a straight arm, his arm straightens after the hit.

After analysing the data, a drill was designed for the athlete to improve their bio-mechanical movements when executing a forehand clear. The drill I have designed is a long pole with string tied to the end to hang a shuttle from a height that you would normally perform a forehand clear. The picture below is the athlete practicing the drill to improve his forehand clear. From practicing this drill we can already see an improvement. The athlete's arm has straightened at the point of contact with the shuttle. And the athlete is stepping into the shot to provide a weight transfer into the shuttle which provides more power.

A forehand clear is a very common and basic shot used in badminton. Practicing this shot and enhancing your bio-mechanics and muscle memory will greatly improve your play on the court. I would greatly recommend a drill like this and to concentrate on your weakness when practicing.
