How do I become a better badminton player?

I am fair but not great. I can hit the shuttlecock but not smash it and I can't do a drop shot to save my life. How do I practice without a partner?|||Well...... Practice makes Perfection. Our coach made us stand in the center and made us move from the centre of the court to the front and act as if playing a drop and then back to the centre and then move to the back and act as if u r doing a smash as fast as we could. We used to do this drill each time before we started playing.|||Um... take lessons?|||practice swating flies with a plysquatter.|||pratice your shots yourself.





work on your hand eye coordination %26amp; your form.





the only way to get better is to make sure your doing the proper tequnique and to practice hard!|||just practice by throwing it up in the air


and smashing it down


but a partner is the best way to practice
