What happens when the shuttle touches the net and drop onto the other side?

Question: What is the status if the shuttle touches the net and drop on the other side while serving/regular play?

Answer:

Hi there, thanks for asking us a question.

The situation you mentioned is very common in badminton. In badminton terms, we call this Net Cord.

The Net Cord is used to describe the situation when a shuttlecock hits the top part of the net (the tape) and tumbles either on either side of the court.

The rule for Net Cord is the same whether it is during a service or regular play.

You win the rally if the shuttlecock drops to the other side of the court as a result of the Net Cord.

During Service: Low Serve

For a low badminton serve, ensure that the shuttlecock does not hit the top of the net. If it does, there is a high chance for your serve will not pass the service line. This is referred to as “short” (see picture below).

short service

Let’s get back to your question. When delivering the low serve, you will LOSE the rally if the shuttlecock hits the top of the net and falls SHORT.

However, if its hits the net cord but lands INSIDE the service boundaries (grey area), it is perfectly legal. Your opponent has to retrieve it.

During Regular Play

During regular play, a net cord is legal if the shuttle passes over to your opponent’s side.

For example, you smash and the shuttle hits the top of the net, but it successfully falls over to your opponent’s side. Your opponent failed to retrieve the shuttle.

In this case, you win the rally. This is often described as ‘luck of the Net Cord’.

Keep in mind that there is also a chance that the shuttlecock hits the top of the net and falls back to YOUR side of the court. In this case, you lose the rally.
