How can I hit my shuttlecock harder? I recently joined a badminton class and I can't hit it with power.

Here are some tips to help you hit your shuttlecock harder:

  • Use the correct grip. The most common grip for badminton is the forehand grip. To do this, grip the racket with your thumb on top of the handle and your fingers curled around the other side.
  • Swing smoothly. Don't try to swing too hard or too fast. Instead, focus on swinging smoothly and with a consistent rhythm.
  • Generate power from your legs. Your legs are the most powerful muscles in your body, so use them to your advantage. When you hit the shuttlecock, step into the shot and use your legs to generate power.
  • Aim for the sweet spot. The sweet spot is the area on the racket that is designed to hit the shuttlecock with the most power. Aim to hit the shuttlecock in the center of the racket.
  • Practice regularly. The more you practice, the better you will become at hitting the shuttlecock harder. Try to practice for at least 30 minutes each day.

Here are some common mistakes that can prevent you from hitting the shuttlecock harder:

  • Gripping the racket too tightly
  • Swinging too hard or too fast
  • Not using your legs to generate power
  • Aiming for the wrong spot on the racket
  • Not practicing frequently
