 Weak Strokes

 Ask your best friend, trainer, or playmate to consistently serve shuttles to you till you are able to recover and switch between strokes effortlessly. Learn to be comfortable in receiving serves and teach yourself on how to hit it perfectly and accurately try doing this for some shots and try to hit the same spots and land the shuttle on that area as much as possible try to improve your power, accuracy, and control. The trainer must take note also to serve the shuttle to you at all sides of your body, forcing you to use different types of strokes to return the shuttle.

 After which, he can now focus on the strikes you have most difficulty with. Many new players and pro players tend to still have weak backhands so if you notice you have difficulty in that area, spend the entire practice returning the shuttlecock solely with your backhand to practice your shots.

 Half-Court

 This one is one of the common types of exercise among badminton players allowing you to focus on your technique instead of footwork or endurance. Both you and your partner should only make use of the first half of the court while rallying to each other. Be more conscious now on your technique and be more comfortable with how you stroke back and forth.

 Since the half of the court is removed, it limits the type of the strokes that you can use and it reduces the movement required. It is a fast paced exercise in a confined space that trains you to have quicker reflexes while focusing on particular strokes.
