Neutralization shots: How to handle pressure in the rearcourt
In Badminton and especially in singles a lot of points happen through mistakes by the opponent (more than 60% in average), so keeping the shuttle in the game and giving your opponent the chance to make a mistake is a smart tactic.
In defensive situations it is almost impossible to score direct winners (a studie with world class players showed that only 1 in a 100 defensive shots wins a ralley). So the goal in defensive situations should be keeping the shuttle in the game, and maybe get back into a neutral 50:50 situation. This video will show you, how to do that.

When you are under pressure in the rearcourtyou only have limited options:
1) Playing clear
A clear from a low position in the rearcourt isn’t impossible but extremly difficult and you also need a lot of power to get a proper length into your shot. Another problem is, that even if you have enough power to play a clear your opponent will most likely be able to attack again and you are still in defence.
2) A flat and fast shot
A attacking shot from a defensive position could suprise your opponent, but in most situations it will give you some extra pressure, because it doesn’t give you any time to recover from the rearcourt and also mistakes can occure very easy.
3) A Drop to the net
A slow dropshot to the net is easier to play and gives you some time to recover, but it is also easy for your opponent to be high at the net to kill it, or at least keep you under pressure.
The solution: Neutralization Shots
Neutralization Shots are played flat over the net with enough speed to keep your opponent away from the net, but also slow enough to give you some time to get back out of the corner. Neutralizationshots usually land around 1 meter behind the service line and played the right way, they will help you get back into the ralley and exasperate your opponent.
