Moving into the front court, we will use a loose grip, and at the forehand we will use the base grip and at the backhand side, between the backhand grip and base grip. Key points:

• Make sure to snap at the last moment
• When playing a spin, it can be from inside to outside, or vice versa
• To play the cross net shot, rotate your forearms
• The lift is a quick snap, and bring your racket slightly back after hitting the shuttle

We can also play net kills, which are done using the pan handle/ backhand grip and also use a quick and snappy movement. For the defense make sure you let your racket go out first and then your body should follow through. At the backhand side if the smash is not on the line, step out with only your left leg.
