Frequently asked questions
What's the best formation in badminton doubles?
Front-and-back is the attacking formation you want to be in — it lets you hit downward winning shots while the net player intercepts. Side-by-side is defensive. The skill is rotating fluidly between them: attack when you hit down, defend when you're forced to lift. You can't stay in one formation the whole rally.
