High Clear Footwork

What you will learn

Move behind a shuttle before a clear. This TRAINOVIX lesson shows a simple setup, a specific practice action and a way to notice your progress without rushing.

Practice step by step

1. Check that the court is clear and others are outside racket range.
2. Practise with slow shuttle feeds and room to swing.
3. Turn sideways, take controlled steps behind the shuttle and use a smooth overhead stroke.
4. Return to a balanced base after contact.
5. Practise a few gentle feeds and take a break before rushing.

Coaching tips

• Stay aware of nearby rackets.
• Keep movements small and be aware of nearby rackets.

How to progress

Start with the simplest version of the activity. Give yourself enough time to learn the movement, ask for feedback when useful, and choose a more challenging variation only when your practice feels comfortable and controlled.
