<html>Well, I don't know if this is illegal or not.<br>We do it here all the time and sometimes it work. The shuttle actually hit the racket and I win the pt. All u have to do is to raise yr racket above the net where u think yr opponent will hit the bird and if u are lucky, the bird hit yr racket and back into their court and the pt is yrs.<br>regards<br>rich </html>

<html>its legal if the initial contact point of the shuttle and your opponents racket is in his side of the court...<br>his follow through, however, can cross over the net, i.e. if he hits the shuttle at first in his own court then its a legal shot<br>its okay if his racket then moves along over to your side<br>but his racket cannot touch the net else its a fault... (SEE IBF RULES... this is stated there)<p>if this keeps happening, that's probably because your actions might be a little predictable and your opponent knows when you will do that<br>a good tactic is to do a quick cross court drop... </html>
<html>The shot has to be made intentionally. Cannot just hold a racquet up close to the net, keep it still and hope the shuttle hits it - that is a fault and I have seen it called so (World Championship singles final 1985) but not read the rules on this.<p><p><br>: its legal if the initial contact point of the shuttle and your opponents racket is in his side of the court...<br>: his follow through, however, can cross over the net, i.e. if he hits the shuttle at first in his own court then its a legal shot<br>: its okay if his racket then moves along over to your side<br>: but his racket cannot touch the net else its a fault...
