The pre-stretch to the clear is important because it takes strength to send the shuttlecock to the other end of the court. Understand the technique will help properly execute this shot.
Controlling momentum:
For every shot especially the clear is that "Cues are devised to maximize the biomechanical actions of joints in the upper extremity,since they are the most important and the most difficult to monitor because of the speed with which they are carried out." This means that there should be an order in which largest muscle and joints should be used first and then the smallest muscles and joints, last. (file:///C:/Users/Richard%20Tran/Downloads/2233-4616-1-PB%20(2).pdf) During the follow through (deceleration) there will be a force which will return to where it originally came from. There should be control over the deceleration of the shot because it could cause a badminton player to lose his/her balance.(http://www.badmintonbible.com/articles/forehand-power/improving-technique.php)
