Poole Forehand Overhead Clear Test (French, Werner, Rink, Taylor, & Hussey, 1996). The performer stands on the X spot with his/her foot (right-handed - right foot, left-handed – left foot) and will receive a shuttle from a trained tester to hit it back over the net to the deepest corner of the court. When the performer hit shuttles, the tester will stand at point ‘X’ with holding a racquet overhead. The performer will hit a shuttle with an overhead forehand clear over the tester’s racquet. The tester will call out if the shuttle does not pass over the tester’s racquet. The performer will hit shuttles twenty times and the scores will be totaled for the clear test score. The maximum score will be 60 points.
