IV. 閱讀測驗 10%Welcome to the Gym World, ladies and gentlemen. As you have seen from thedemonstration, the sport offers a wide variety of basic strokes, and players require a high levelof skill to perform all of them effectively. All strokes can be played either forehand or backhand.A player's forehand side is the same side as their playing hand: for a right-handed player, theforehand side is their right side and the backhand side is their left side. Forehand strokes are hitwith the front of the hand leading, like hitting with the palm, whereas backhand strokes are hitwith the back of the hand leading, just like hitting with the knuckles. Players frequently playcertain strokes on the forehand side with a backhand hitting action, and vice versa.Remember, the location of the place where you play your strokes matters. In the forecourtand midcourt, most strokes can be played equally effectively on either the forehand or backhandside; but in the rearcourt, players will attempt to play as many strokes as possible on theirforehands, often preferring to play a round-the-head forehand overhead rather than attempt abackhand overhead. Playing a backhand overhead has two main disadvantages. First, the playermust turn their back to their opponents, restricting their view of them and the court. Second,backhand overheads cannot be hit with as much power as forehands: the hitting action is limitedby the shoulder joint, which permits a much greater range of movement for a forehand overheadthan for a backhand. The backhand clear is considered by most players and coaches to be themost difficult basic stroke in the game, since precise technique is needed in order to musterenough power for the shuttlecock to travel the full length of the court. For the same reason,backhand smashes tend to be weak.How will we address the choice of strokes? Literally, it depends on how near theshuttlecock is to the net, whether it is above net height, and where an opponent is currentlypositioned: players have much better attacking options if they can reach the shuttlecock wellabove net height, especially if it is also close to the net. In the forecourt, a high shuttlecock willbe met with a net kill, hitting it steeply downwards and attempting to win the rally immediately.This is why it is best to drop the shuttlecock just over the net in this situation. In the midcourt, ahigh shuttlecock will usually be met with a powerful smash, also hitting downwards and hopingfor an outright winner or a weak reply. Athletic jump smashes, where players jump upwards fora steeper smash angle, are a common and spectacular element of elite men's doubles play. In therearcourt, players strive to hit the shuttlecock while it is still above them, rather than allowing itto drop lower. This overhead hitting allows them to play smashes, clears, and dropshots. Whenyou play clears, you can draw your opponent to the rear part of the court. When you playdropshots, you can force your opponent to come near to the net in the forecourt. If theshuttlecock has dropped lower, then a smash is impossible and a full-length, high clear isdifficult. Manipulating the above strategies in rotation may confuse your opponents and makethem respond in a weaker way.Now that the lecture is enough, let’s embark on our practice today and now Coach Spencerwill proceed.
