How to play badminton better
Always hit the centre of the shuttle.
You should hit the round rubber centre, or the " sweet spot " of the shuttle every single time. You can practice this technique by looking right at the center of the shuttle when you hit an overhead shot you can have a point.
You can also practice with your hands to try to get a feel for the shuttle. Hit the shuttle at the top of its arc.
