More detailed description:

(To clarify: the term "mixed point" is a danish term which is the area on the sides of the court. Will use the term side of the mid court in the future)

First part of MOMOTA's strategy series is about his use of the dead zone. He plays it both from the net and from the rear court and utilizes this more than any other pro badminton player. This episode is about his drop shots to the dead zone.

As he puts it to the dead zone his opponent cannot play fast drop shots close to the net making his area of coverage smaller so he can recover position faster and wait for another opportunity. This effectively removes the opponents ability to attack him as he invites the rally into the flat game or a neutral rally where the shuttle is just played around.

Another point is that is is very often playing the dead zone on the right side with a straight drop shot for two reasons besides opening his own court up. Firstly, the angle and the spin of the shuttle makes it harder to return a spinning net shot as the shuttle rotates clock wise from the opponents perspective. Secondly, he plays that side a lot because he can counter attack in his forehand side and around the head in his backhand side.

Also, he doesn't jump until he has a clear chance to attack making his recovery even faster. Every pro player is fast but Momota is effectively fast due to his brilliancy. He knows he has weapons to kill the shuttle so he rarely take risks and plays the patient game.

Although, I claim to know his so called "secret" there is no secret to these strategies. Opponents knows how he plays, coaches knows how he plays but he is just the best at what he does.

Part 2 will be episode #33 where I reveal another strategic thing he does better than any other player. We will observe Momota and follow his trails as he set the bar for the best badminton anno 2018 until another superstar rises to the surface.
