Setup

Feeder at the net with shuttles; targets in both rear corners on the feeder's side.

Step by step

1. Feeder drops shuttles to the player's forehand and backhand net corners.
2. Player lunges and lifts to a rear target, straight or cross.
3. Recover to base after each lift.

Success criteria

10 of 15 lifts landing past the doubles long service line.

Common mistakes

• Short lifts
• Bending at the waist instead of lunging

Easier version

Lift from a hand feed without lunging; any lift past the midcourt counts.

Advanced version

Hold-and-flick deception; feeder can intercept low lifts.

Progression

Smaller targets or faster feeds.

Safety

• Stop if you feel sharp pain, dizziness, chest pain or unusual breathlessness.
