Net Kill

Net kill is a shot played when your opponent has played a loose shot over the net, providing an opening to strike the shuttle down from the net area.

The basic preparation and movement for the net kill is the same as the net shot. The only difference is that you need to hold the racket head high enough to take the shuttle above the net level. The key is to be quick to the net.

As this shot is played with a tap action near the net, there is a risk of you hitting the net. So make sure when you play this shot, use your wrist with little or no racket arm movement. Once you make contact with the shuttle, let your racket rebound back to ensure no follow through.
