Don't smash the shuttle every time:

The smash should be used at a time when the shuttle is high in the air and you have plenty of time to approach -- it should end the point in your favor. If you smash the shuttle at every opportunity, you will tire your arms and will risk smashing it into the net at inopportune moments.

Hit a drop shot followed by a shot to the back of the court - badminton tips,badminton training,badminton coaching

Exploit Your Opponent's Weaknesses

Hit a drop shot followed by a shot to the back of the court:

If you have mastered the drop shot, then use it to make your opponent run all the way to the front of the court. Then return the next shot all the way to the back of the court. Not only will this force your opponent to be quick on his feet, but it will also catch him off guard. This is also a great way to tire your opponent.

Change the direction of the shuttle - badminton tips,badminton training,badminton coaching

Exploit Your Opponent's Weaknesses

Change the direction of the shuttle:

If your opponent hits the shuttle straight at you, hit the shuttle in a different direction instead of hitting it right back at your opponent, where he will expect it to go. This will work especially well if the shuttle has generated a lot of momentum. If you're quick on your feet, you can change the direction of the shuttle and not give your opponent enough time to react to a fast-moving shuttle.

Hit a simple short shot - badminton tips,badminton training,badminton coaching

Exploit Your Opponent's Weaknesses

Hit a simple short shot:

When you're up at the net, simply hit the shuttle short, just barely over to your opponent's side. This will make your opponent run and will catch him off guard. This is a great technique if your opponent is positioned near the back line.

Shoot toward your opponent's backhand - badminton tips,badminton training,badminton coaching

Shoot toward your opponent's backhand:

Many players are weaker on the backhand side, so try shooting toward your opponent's backhand and see if this makes your opponent return less shots. If so, continue to exploit your opponent's backhand.

Understand your opponent's game - badminton tips,badminton training,badminton coaching

 Understand your opponent's game : 

When you're playing a new opponent, whether it's at a competition or during a friendly game at a family outing, you should asses your opponent's game even while you're warming up. You should look for a few main things: if your opponent is more of an aggressive or defensive player, if his forehand or backhand is his dominant shot, and any weaknesses, such as slow footwork or weak drop shot returns, that you can exploit.

Make your opponent move around the court - badminton tips,badminton training,badminton coaching

Make your opponent move around the court :  

Don't hit all of your shots to the same location of the court of your opponent will be able to predict your next move every time. Instead, mix things up by hitting a drop shot followed by a shot to the baseline, or by moving your opponent from the right to the left side of the court. Moving from the front to the back of the court is particularly tricky unless your opponent has very nimble feet.
