Hence, he has been called 'the white Chinese' due to his Chinese-inspired style of hop smashes and powerful footwork.

Its purpose is to pull the opponent to the front corners of the court, opening up a large area of their court for consequent attack. A high quality drop shot is difficult to return and has the potential of winning the play. There are two types of badminton drop shots; a slow drop shot and a fast drop shot. The main differences between the two are speed, as the names indicate, and placement.
A slow drop shot lands close to the net, while the fast drop shot lands farther from the net. Badminton beginners and those who have not been properly instructed may not be aware of the fast drop technique. Most simply think that to hit a drop shot is to hit the shuttle as close to the opponent's net as possible, which translates to hitting the shuttle softly. However, by hitting the shuttle softly, the slow flight of the shuttle gives the opponent time to reach the shuttle making the shot mostly ineffective. The proper technique for hitting a badminton drop shot involves the face of the racket slicing the head of the shuttle. One can slice the shuttle in a clockwise or counter-clockwise motion to either straight or crosscourt.
This slicing motion allows for deceptive placements of the shuttle, because the shuttle does not necessarily fly towards the direction of the swing, it's a bit harder for the opponent to predict. Drop Shot Badminton Training Level Coach Video Beginner - How to slice shuttle clockwise.

There are two types of high clear shots; the Long High Clear and the Flat High Clear.
The Long High Clear is a defensive badminton shot. Its purpose is to create time for yourself while under pressure allowing you to return to base position for the next shot. Much like the tennis lob, the flight path of the badminton shuttle is high and as deep into the opponent's backcourt as possible.
The contact point for hitting the badminton shuttle is directly above your head. The Flat High Clear is an offensive badminton shot.
Its purpose is to put your opponent under pressure in the backcourt. The flight path of the badminton shuttle is flat and fast. If your opponent is not able reach the badminton shuttle in time, their return shot will be less effective and thus vulnerable for attack. The contact point for hitting the badminton shuttle is directly above your head and about 10cm to 20cm forward.
