    Lulz, I'm the best in class at badminton... But I don't know what kind of "cool moves" do you ask for. Just go out and do your best...

    Well, for me, the most "funnest" thing to do is get a light lob from the opponent, and then SMASH it all the way down, so when it reaches them, it'll be around their ankles or knees :p

    hit it really far and make your opponent super tired while you just kinda stand there....you'll win for sure!

    first focus at the ball as much as you can
    train your reflexes (they said i got amazing reflex, maybe because of 'sword fight' with my brother)
    usually if you look at opponet movement carefully you can perceive where the ball targeted.
    that's all i can help

    Use a combination of both forehands and backhands and if possible try and hit a smash with your back hand. It's easier to do this while not jumping. This keeps your opponent guessing all the time. And smashes don't always work. Some of my friends are very skilled at making returns. Aiming your shots near the lines may confuse your opposition making them guess whether its going out or not. A very good strategy when playing doubles as it may lead your opponents' partner to make wrong calls. If you're gonna hit it short make sure it is as close to the net as possible making the return harder.

    Talk trash. Works really good when playing doubles. Gets everyone laughing, and missing returns.

    I play badminton but I'm not very good.
    My brother and father are pros in badminton.
    Just try and hit the shuttlecock towards the opponent and your fine.
