    Raise your arm faster into position and hold it there before you land your right leg.

    Don’t drop your arm to the floor after hitting the shuttle.

    I was going to say the exact same thing.

    -
    It's great that we can now see your split step, good improvement.

    If you play a net shot in a game, the opponent will likely play a net shot or lift in response, so you want to either have your racquet near the net cord (for a tight or spinning net shot) or above the net cord ready for a kill. That is why it's bad practice to lower the racquet arm as soon as you play a netshot.

    I would also encourage you to think about your non racquet leg (left). Lots of the video it is in the air when you are playing the net shot. 1:50 , 1:54 and 0:39 are examples of this.

    If you want to improve your control, make sure you are relaxed with the elbow and wrist when moving into the shot and use your fingers to block or push the shuttle.

    If you want to improve accuracy, get a box or open container (there is one pictured) and aim to land the shuttles in it.

    Backhand netshots - Have the forefinger looser - no need to curl it around the handle for this shot

    Stretch your left arm backwards when you reach forward to hit the shuttle, both on backhand and forehand.

    I must say I mainly play doubles so is that will be correct in doubles game. As I keep reading net shots are bit different ?

    Good question. When opponent's front player is near it will be risky to net drop straight over the net. Instead you should practice diagonal, sideways net drop especially when you take the shuttle from low.

    Yes, "underhand" like those you use are mainly for singles. It is too dangerous to use in doubles as you don't want to lift the shuttle too high over the net. Not to say that you won't use it when you have the opportunity to make a tight net shot.
    Instead, it's more like a "push" kind of shot.

    It depends on how you approach the shuttle with the racquet.

    If you do an inside to outside racquet head motion (more common in singles because of the wider court coverage), then a relaxed forefinger will give you more control.

    if you are doing an outside to inwards racquet head motion to play the shuttle, then curling the forefinger on the handle a little bit will be ok.

    The important thing is to know how you approach the shuttle in relation to your body. On court, when you practice your netshots, the corners are very wide. In your garage, the space is narrower and the result is you are mixing different netshots techniques, possibly without realising it.

    Yes not much space here but can get more confident and feel shuttle more also try learn principle to keep split step . I must say hit like 500 shuttles per session is good for legs lol

    And some of the basic shoots look easy when you watch that on YouTube but when you actually try copy them is not that easy for me . That why I ask so many silly questions
