SWING /
CONTACT

The next phase is the swing and contact phase. There are different techniques for the swings, backhand swing and forward hand swing. This phase is very important in a game of badminton, the back hand swing is to initial position of the racquet in preparation to the next parts which is the forward hand swing where hitting action of the rick to the shuttle towards the opponents court. I was average of the grips to use for the different swings, I had no power in my forward hand swing, but by moving forward and going on to the shuttle cock gave me more force in my shot. The angle at which the racquet contacts the shuttle cock will determine the angle of release and therefore how high and how far it will travel from the shot. This relates back to biomechanics because the movement of a living body, including how muscles, bones, tendons and ligaments work together to produce movements. The next paragraph will elevate the follow through phase.
