When do you use a smash shot in badminton?

Answer 1

There are no rules as such, but to get the most power out of a smash. Make sure you position yourself slightly behind the shuttle, give a good jump and pretend you are throwing the racket through the shuttle.

Answer 2

This would be a harder shot played towards the ground, or aimed at an opposing player, to make it difficult to return.

Answer 3

If it's played well, very effective.

Answer 4

half court
