Yes with tennis you can hit the shot out of the back of the court. Squash the ball has too much energy and bounces out of the corner you were trying to make it drop in and die. Badminton the timing goes and you try to 'muscle' the shot which actually reduces the racquet head speed at the moment of impact with the shuttlecock instead of each action of a part of the arm and shoulder adding to the last ending in the high speed pivot of the wrist and follow through. the whole shot is stiffened and slowed.
