Secret sauce: Hitting both the feather and head of the shuttecock
Contrary to popular belief, it is NOT about the movement of your racket, or how you angle your racket.
The secret to achieving the most amazing badminton spin net, lies in the contact with the shuttle. Once you get that right, the shuttle will spin!
As explained in our video, maximum revolution of the shuttle is achieved when the string bed of the racket simultaneously contacts both the shuttle head and shuttle feathers.
Now, with that information, read on to learn the drills that will help you conquer the world.
Drill One: On the spot spins
You can do this drill anywhere, even at home! It’s simple, yet makes very effective practice.
This is so that you can get the feel of the badminton spin net the quickest without worrying about getting the height and distance correct in an actual spin net.
In essence, this drill simplifies the technique, helping you achieve the desired spin the quickest way by increasing the number of repetitions and having you practice even while on your own.
Drill two: Static Badminton Spin Net
After getting the static spins done well, the next thing to learn is to get the distance and height correct so that you are one step closer to using it in game.One thing to note when doing the drill is to ensure good quality, good quality means:
- The shuttle spins well. (It is difficult for the opposing player to clear/lift).

This badminton drill requires a partner, so get one and start spinning your way to success.
