The Badminton jump smash is an advanced technique in which
the athlete jumps as high as possible prior to completing the overhead smash
shot. The shuttle I hit with great power and speed in a downwards trajectory
into the opponent's court.
The shuttle should be contacted at the highest possible point
in front of your head and with the racquet head angled to allow the sharpest
trajectory to the opponent’s side of the court.
The
speed and trajectory of the shot are the reason why this is one of the best
ways to end the rally and win the point.

Newton's law 1
Preparation phase:
Body positioned ready to overcome the inertia of the shuttle cock and change
its direction. Body is being prepared to move, greater forces will be required
to overcome the inertia of the body compared to the shuttle cock because the
player weighs more.
Follow through phase:
The muscles have to work hard now to decrease the forces generated during preparation
and execution to maintain control. The greater the forces that were generated,
the greater the forces required to slow down and control the movement in the
follow through.
Newton's laws 2
Newtons Law 2, Acceleration and Force.
Execution phase: The
greater the force can be applied to the shuttle cock, the greater the
acceleration of the shuttle cock. By using correct force summation (timing
sequencing, body segments, stretch and range of motion), large forces can be
generated that will be passed onto the shuttle cock.
Newton's laws 3
Execution phase: For
every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. If a lot of force is
given to the shuttle cock, it will react and travel a good distance. The
shuttle cock will travel in the direction the force is applied.
Follow through phase:
The shuttle cock will travel in the direction the force is applied, therefore
if the racket follow through is towards the target, that is the direction the
shuttle cock will travel in.
