Is it a fault in badminton that my racket touches the Net after the shuttle falls on my opponents side?
In badminton, a fault occurs when a player violates the rules of the game. One common question that arises is whether it is a fault if your racket touches the net after the shuttlecock falls on your opponent's side.
The answer is no, it is not a fault. According to the Badminton World Federation (BWF), Rule 12.1.2 states: "It is not a fault if the player's racket touches the net when following through after hitting the shuttlecock." This means that as long as you hit the shuttlecock first and it lands on your opponent's side, you can follow through with your racket and touch the net without incurring a fault.
It is important to note that this rule only applies if your racket touches the net after you have hit the shuttlecock. If you touch the net before you hit the shuttlecock, or if your racket touches the net while the shuttlecock is still in play, it will be considered a fault.
