Why do I keep hitting the rim of my racket in badminton? What can I do to improve?

I hit the rim a lot in badminton. I swear, if they made the racket a bit bigger and in a donut shape I would be a world cl player. I think it has to do with my timing, like I'm not waiting long enough on a dropping birdie, or not reaching far enough to block smashes... But sometimes, when the birdie is dropping slowly from the sky, I tell myself, WAIT!!! And I make sure that I will hit it in the sweet spot. But then, PLINK, I hit it on the rim again. This really annoys me. What can I do to improve my play?

Indians: How do you feel about the Universities in Tamilnadu vying with each other in..?

Its too bad for universities! At the extreme, they introduced the studies about k!. How could they accepted it without any shame or guilty feeling? To be frank, parkara enakku aruvaruppa irukku! Avanga vetkamey illama palla kaati sirichikittu pose kudukaranga! Ethu makkal ahtchiya,mannar ahtchiya?! If it k or j or x or y or anyone! It is bad culture!

Does taking your prenatal pills after birth increase...?

the chances of getting pregnant again? My OB never told me to keep taking them, she told me to keep taking my iron, but all my friends who have had kids and many moms on here have told me to keep taking my prenatal pills as they will help my body readjust. But will this increase my chances of getting pregnant again? My doctor won't discuss bc with me until my 6 week postpartum visit (but I am going to try and broach the subject on Wed) and we can't use condoms so we're basically just using the pull out method right now, which I know is not a great way to avoid it. I've been told women can be MORE fertile postpartum but do the prenatal pills increase that?

Seeking a non-industrial chainpull hoist - max load would be well under 100lbs. - need to lift 9'?

How about rope and a simple pulley. Chain is only use to increase load capacity. Doesn't sound like a problem here and would be cheaper.

The movie: "What the Bleep Do I Know"- In this-wht is true science vs. pseudoscience?

I found this movie presenting ideas I'd read were on the way to being proven to be true....Dr. Candace Pert has written Molecules in Emotion and is respected for her research in mind/body field whereas other people in the film have no credentials nor do their ideas hold validity. I was told this movie is completely pseudoscience... Have any of you researched this area....or have read similar ideas in this movie that have been proven by now.
