Winner will be drawn at random, it’s worth getting Instagram for to have a go. Good luck 👍

Yes it can be to play away from the server, the server could also anticipate that return as well though if they have intercepted the shot shown.

We would probably favour the racket head sitting closer to head with strings pointing more forwards. This means there is less to do in the swing and the racket head should come back to contact naturally. I hope that helps?

Yes maybe, that’s why we referenced the racket head speed as being a crucial area to think about, there are so many aspects that add to power but if the racket isn’t moving fast then it won’t be a fast smash. I hope this video helped you, keep us updated with your progress 👍

Thanks very much, pleased you enjoyed it. Anywhere around there will be fine but sometimes other factors can affect this such as height of the lift or body position. Hope that helps

@@TheBadmintonZoneHQ thank you 🙏

You’re very welcome, thanks for watching

I’m sure you will 👍 check out episode 1 as well if you haven’t already. Hope it helps with your game 😀

Thanks very much, jumps we will go into on the next episode. 👍

Thanks very much, staying relaxed is definitely easier said than done. Another approach can be to try and think of the racket head moving from the top of the swing to the bottom of the swing as quick as possible. Sometimes the tension comes in when overthinking about the contact of the shuttle and therefore over tense of stop the swing too early. Just another idea to try. Thanks for taking the time to comment

@@TheBadmintonZoneHQ Agreed anything that takes away the focus on actually hitting is what is working for me so I will absolutely give that a go. Thank you for the advice.

We have always stayed in forehand grip, it naturally means you have more forearm rotation when coming into the shot resulting in more power. How have you found practicing both grips? Have you had more success with one over the other?

@@TheBadmintonZoneHQ cheers for the reply, having playing around with both i think i probably get a cleaner stronger hit with the 10deg open grip, but not a huge difference. I will stick with the forehand grip and focus on fully pronating to square it up. Cheers!

Is there? It’s a single court hall so could be a small echo?

Thanks very much for the positive feedback, we really appreciate it. Hope this video helps with your smash 👍

Your welcome, hope it helps 👍 Thanks for the comment

Well done 👍

Hope you liked the video 😀

Saw some videos showing slow motion videos of smashes starting with fully opened fingers so relaxed before squeezing at the end I think on the badminton insight channel. This video is great for me to assign watching for my students. Thanks

You’re welcome, hope it helps them 👍

😂😂 pleased you enjoyed it. We are looking forward to the next episode as well. 💪👍

Thanks very much, it has been hard work but It’s certainly been worth it and paying off.

Get a good bevel grip and it’s a big commitment to the swing, a slight slice as you make contact with the shuttle will help take the pace off and land it close to the front of the court. Check out the video below which covers the cross drive from the position. ua-cam.com/video/lrs1mNAZ4zU/v-deo.htmlsi=fYk5tq7lQQcupIFg

It’s a bit of both, the sideways motion will add the spin but it’s also making sure you don’t think the bigger the movement the bigger the slice. Just a small movement from one side to the other will be enough to add spin. We have always believed that unless you’re practicing technique alone then it’s good to add a bit of movement to make it more match relevant.

😊😊😊

Glad you enjoyed it 😀👍

Great question!! What I do is eat little and often of my slow carb food. This will act as a drip feed throughout the day. Then 30 mins before my match have something slightly fast releasing and then really fast releasing before my match. Then repeat during the tournament. It doesn’t need to be much if it’s often

Was this the Welsh tournament? What did you play?

Yep, I played singles qualification and doubles main draw. But lost first round for both against pretty strong players

Enjoy it? Do you have any other tournaments coming up soon?

Simple but so effective 😀👍

Thanks very much, we are up to episode 4 now, have you seen those yet?

@@TheBadmintonZoneHQ Thanks I haven't seen 3 and 4 - I will check it out.

Hope you enjoy it, thanks for your support 👍

Make sure you go through your normal preparation and consider your hydration and nutrition. Best of luck let us know how you get on 👍

Sorry we don’t understand what you mean.

Sorry we don’t understand what you mean.

Hope you enjoyed this episode

We enjoyed this one, finally managed to complete a hit that shot.

This is our latest episode 👍

Did you enjoy the episode? Make sure you check out the journey from the start if you haven’t already 👍

I liked it now watching to others❤❤❤

Thanks very much.

Yes switch out your white rice and white bread from whole meal. Essential eat a good balanced diet 💪

Great to hear, sometimes the simple techniques are easy to over look. We find players sometimes show the lift too early but using too much arm and backswing.

I use Bulk powders hydration powder. You could try some simple electrolyte tablets and then a protein shake for recovery

We have a new competition coming up in December so make sure you follow us on Instagram to find out more 👍

@@TheBadmintonZoneHQ I'm in Pakistan bro! 😢

You can still enter, it’s a worldwide competition. Coming out soon

Never give up 😂😂

😂😂😂

Thanks very much, really pleased to hear you’re enjoying it.

Thank you 😀

It’s a 3U version

Thanks mate 😀

Thanks, will do my best!

Haha yes I decided to mix things up this week.

@@KimRichardson-mm4hu 😀😀

Thanks very much Seth, pleased you enjoyed it.

Interesting approach, great to hear that it worked for you. As players when you find something successful that’s works for you there isn’t really a need to change it.

Thanks very much for the recommendation, we really appreciate it. Great to hear you had success following the program. We hope your enjoying the series 😀

Thanks very much, when we discussed the idea initially we said it’s important for it to be an honest account of the journey rather than just showing the good parts, it wouldn’t have been a true reflection. Appreciate the comment regarding that. Thanks for your support as always.

I don’t do too much stretching, I prefer to foam roll and do some mobility exercises. Just preference

We think that was why Badminton England changed the ranking system and added grading. As your correct someone can have a high ranking by playing lots of tournaments and picking up loads of points. The grading system however you have to beat people graded the same or higher I believe to be upgraded.

Thanks very much, pleased you liked it. What tournaments do you have coming up?

@TheBadmintonZoneHQ Yeah the analysis is good and appreciate the advice on food etc for high level tournaments. Glad to see even at your level you have good and bad games. Only 1 left this year, MK tier 4 doubles only though
