Introduction

Badminton is the world's fastest racquet sport: a shuttle can leave the racket at a speed of almost 200 mph. Today's players compete in a lightning-fast sport which demands constant, highly concentrated actions: running, jumping, twisting, stretching, running backwards and striking. In a typical two-game singles match, top players will cover nearly every inch of the court and travel more than a mile. Great techniques and physical fitness alone are not enough to win a badminton game, a successful player must play smart. Using quick thinking to adapt his/her play to the opponent’s tactics and weaknesses. Using varying speed and position and deceptive plays to earn an edge over the opponent.
