The key to all badminton swings is the timing connected with your body’s movement. In strong swings like clears and smashes, hitting the shuttlecock while your body is uncoiling delivers the most power and accuracy. This movement isn’t just about hand strength but uses your whole body’s energy to create a powerful shot. Perfectly timing when to uncoil and managing the distance to the shuttlecock are key to mastering professional-level swings.
