Best Answer

The overhead clear, or any clear in general, in Badminton is used for many different reasons:

  • To push your opponent to the back of the court - this makes their next shot more predictable because they will not make a good smash so they will most likely clear back or drop. Depending on your opponent, their returning shot may be slightly different
  • To Move your opponent around and tire them out
  • To give yourself time to recover
For these things to work, you must hit a good clear. It should be high enough to give yourself time to recover, and far/deep enough or else your opponent will make you eat bird (smash it in your face) or put a dent in the ground.


If you don't hit a proper clear, you will have set your opponent up for a good smash - they can place it easy as well.
