Sky Shuttlecock

Q3. How many times were you able to anticipate the path of the ball or shuttlecock correctly and how? Is there any pattern in the path of the ball or shuttlecock while returning?

Sky ShuttlecockAnswer:

• I was able to anticipate the path of the shuttlecock by watching how it reacted when it hit the wall.
• The shuttlecock often returned in a predictable pattern, bouncing at a similar angle each time.
• I focused on the speed and angle at which the shuttlecock came back and adjusted my position accordingly.
• I realized that the shuttlecock tended to bounce at a higher angle when I hit it with more force.
• By observing the pattern, I was able to position myself better for the next shot.

Place the Shuttlecock

• When I missed the target, I adjusted my angle to ensure the shuttlecock or ball went in the right direction.
• I tried to focus on hitting the ball with a bit more force when it was falling short of the target.
• If the shuttlecock or ball was too far, I aimed for a softer, more controlled hit.
• I also made sure to adjust the distance between me and the target to get a better angle.
• Practicing different hitting techniques helped me improve my accuracy over time.
