How to Master the Cross Court Net Shot

The Cross Court Net shot can be one of the most powerful weapons in badminton when you play singles as you can score from an offensive position but also completly turn around the really when you are under pressure.

However only very few player practice and use that shot, so with this video I want to give you practical tips how to master that shot and encourage you to use it in your game!

--Additional Info------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here you can find the videos, that i mentioned in the video:

Especially from a low position, the cross court net shot needs a good touch and is not easy to master. I would recommend to start from a higher position and then work your way to situations, when you are under more pressure. Like I said in the video, from low positions you also have to use your wrist and turn the grip into direction of the panhandle grip. Otherwise it will be impossible to get behind the shuttle.

If you need some inspiration on top level I would recommend to check out some videos from Tai Tzu Ying and especially Ratchanok Intanon. Both of them can play the cross court net shot almost to perfection and also use it on a frequent basis in their game, even from almost impossible situations.

You are the only one who explains all shots & tricks very clearly...

Aloha Coach Tobias, awesome video. I like your key thought of guiding the racquet instead of hitting. I have found that so much of the touch shots executed in the area in front of and around the service line reqires this high sense of feel in the fingers. Repetition leads to mastery repeating the mantra, see shuttle, guide shuttle. Works for me. Thanks and take care.

Always good to see your tutorials on techniques and enjoy the clear explanation. I am an intermediate level, and play socially competitive matches every week - mostly doubles. I think I want to learn more about where (middle, side, back, front) and how (drop, drive, lift) hit back from different positions, especially when under pressure. It is a tactical question that I’d love to see. Happy to clarify if needed.

Thank you very much. It will really help me to improve my game.

I always hit cross net shot out of bound. Though tons of practice is the key, your slow motion video is great to imitate. thx

[mykaratejournal]

Been trying to learn and apply this in my games quite often lately... When I do pull it off, the look on the opponent's face is just priceless 🤬😬😈

[TPToE]

Thanks for another excellent tutorial. Are you landing your racket foot as you hit the cross net shot?

[ashlychauhan]

very well expounded, , , really with most correct selection of english words

[crazycuber]

Awesome video Tobias
It's been long since you uploaded a video and it's good to see that ur back!
Also a small question
Which racket do you think is head heavy, not too head heavy and is also lightweight?
Astrox 100zz, Astrox 99, Astrox 88d or do you recommend any racket?
I play singles and like attacking a lot. Intermediate club player
Also which string do you recommend overall, nbg 95 or bg 65 ti or bg 65?
Also love your YT channel
