When should I hit a topspin forehand versus a flat one

A topspin forehand and a flat forehand are two essential strokes in a badminton player's arsenal. Each stroke has its advantages and disadvantages, and the decision of which one to use depends on the situation.

Use a topspin forehand when:

You want to keep the shuttlecock in the court.
You want to hit a deep shot that will land near the back of the court.
You want to hit a shot that will drop quickly.
You want to hit a shot that will have a lot of spin and make it difficult for your opponent to return.

Use a flat forehand when:

You want to hit a hard shot that will travel quickly.
You want to hit a shot that will be easy for your opponent to return.
You want to hit a shot that will stay low to the ground.

Ultimately, the best way to decide which stroke to use is to practice both of them and see which one works best for you in different situations.
