Badminton Net Kill Shot#
In a game of badminton, to counter a weak lift shot, the receiver can orient their racket at certain angle relative to the vertical. Thus, he/she is able to utilize the incoming momentum of the shuttle and principles of oblique impacts to return the shuttle at a steep angle without exerting an additional impulse. This agile shot is termed as a badminton net kill shot due to its play in close proximity to the net.
