I am a badminton player and I had always liked to play badminton. I am struggling to make a deceptive shot, I have somewhat good movements and speed, but I am not able to make good deceptive shots, can anyone tell how to master deceptive shots?

much of the time badminton deceptive shots are otherwise referred to as trick shots. one of the most popular deceptive shots used recently is the shot of that won for peter gade for final matchpoint in the copenhagen masters tournament super series...the shot was beautifully executed effecting his opponent with uncertainty about where the shuttlecock would travel and land...the deceptive shot that gade used encompassed everything that a deceptive shot should be,including the fact that it won the match for him.this was a precise and practised manuver as all deceptive shots should be.if your deceptive shot is an accident then it is not a true deception it is merely luck. there are several different types of deceptive shots that can be used in various instances on the court.you can also come up with your own deceptive shots as this is the best for fooling your opponent.first you should know about the two various categories of deception in badminton. negative deception is to trick your opposer's by not hitting shuttlecock at the first possible moment, but waiting to strike it at a later time. considering the rate of play and travelof the shuttlecock this is only going to be a few seconds difference for the most part. however, even a few seconds can delay and confuse the pattern of play in most opponents. the second type of deceptive shot in badminton will be to use positive deception . positive deception is different than negative deception un that you will still hit the shuttlecock at the first possible moment.the deception will occur with where the shuttlecock is going after you strike it.this is done in many ways and usually executed by changing your body composure as you strike the shuttlecock.

Wonderful response, Thank you for your kind information. I am happy, trick shots are actually quite helpful to earn us points easily if we execute a deceptive shot accurately, delivered at right time and speed. The descriptive part of your discussion is quite wonderful, i suppose u must be a good badminton player friend. Thanks a lot.
