Best Answer

When you are pushed to the back of the court by your opponent.

In Badminton doubles, a good time to use the clear is when you or your partner is under pressure or out of position (defensive), or when your opponents are too far forward or in each others way (offensive).

The purpose of the overhear clear in badminton?

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 differentTo Move your opponent around and tire them outTo give yourself time to recoverFor 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.

This has a downside as it can set them up for a smash.Drop shot- this is used when you are at the back of the court and you gently hit it so that it just goes over the net. This is a sneaky shot because they will think you are about to clear it and it involves them practically running into the net.The net shot- this is when you are at the net and you either use backhand or forehand to tap it over the net. This is hard to return because you need to run forward and then hit it.qwerty-man
