Sir please cancel yoy give me a racket
We would love to do a racket giveaway in the future so make sure you follow us on Instagram. Thanks for watching
So adding on to that cause I see you had to simplify the shot itself a bit. It’s all about having fingers and forearm relaxed and bent, then squeezing them together while straightening the elbow and that’s making the shot. With the right grip of course to play back into the court Also you’re a bit too close to the shuttle for my liking, every time you end up with your elbow bent after the shot which means you could take it earlier/higher or didn’t have to move that far
Yes it’s all about trying to stay smooth and relaxed while under pressure. Interesting observation regarding contact point, having looked through again it looks a nice relaxed position to me, straight arm without being locked out. You’re right in saying though this shot can be played from numerous heights depending on where you have moved from previously. Aa always thanks for taking the time to comment. 👍
Longline drop is very anti-deception in nature. Also good for playing against deceptive opponent because its quite fast.
Yep we agree it cuts down the shot options on offer to the opponent.
Thank you for this video, it was really helpful especially the slow motion replay of the shot and then the very slow breakdown of the different aspects of the shot. Really appreciate it
Our pleasure, pleased you found it helpful. Let us know how you get on with improving your backhand drop 👍. Thanks for taking the time to write a positive comment.
Great video. Have you guys switched rackets fairly recently? From 1000Z to 100Zz?
Pleased to hear you liked the video. David uses the Astrox 100zz, Dean mainly uses the Astrox 88d pro but does have a Nanoflare 1000Z in the bag. What racket are you using?
wow you are filming this video in ocbc arena?
Yes we did. During our trip to Singapore we were able to access the courts while the players were resting between their sessions. It is a fantastic hall.
thanks once again to you both for an extremely useful video.
Our pleasure, pleased you liked it and hope it helps with your backhand drop.
Nicely explained. Thanks for the video.
Pleased you found it useful, let us know how you get on with your backhand drop 👍
Excellent lession. Thank you for teaching.
Glad you liked it! Check out our other lessons on our channel. 👍
Can do a video for smash training please?
Check out our video below on how you can introduce more power into your smash. We hope it helps and thanks for watching 👍 Why your smash isn't powerful!!! ua-cam.com/video/AG0PISSpjgY/v-deo.html
Very useful video again guys. Will definitely introduce into training. Can I ask a quick question - What rackets do you both use ? Thanks again.
Great, pleased you liked it, let us know how it goes in training. Dean used the Astrox 88d pro rackets and David uses the Astrox 100ZZ rackets.
If the opponent manages to get a straight lift return from your first net kill/drive, is it your shot to hit or would it be your partner that would cover that?
It’s a good question. We would generally say the player that is already in the mid/rear court as they are probably still closer to the lift. An instance where this may change is if the player that has hit the kill is a rear court specialist they may use this as a time to rotate as a pair and get into their favoured formation. Generally at club level we would see the player that hit the kill stay forward and the other player go back for the lift. Hope that helps.
Thanks guys. As usual some really good practical stuff. I'm trying hard to also remember to tilt back my wrist for this shot... must try harder! Stepping back from the net really helps and gives me a little more space and time to pounce forward onto the shuttle.
Pleased you liked it. Yes stepping back from the net for the interception is important to give you enough time to see and process the shot. Thanks for the comment 👍
Its always easy to step back to mid 😂😂..my main mistake..😅
You’re right, it’s an easy mistake to make. Keep trying this when hitting hard off from the net instead. Thanks for watching 👍
Some real good points and tips but especially at the end regarding partner needing to cover the back if they see you move in but also even sacrificing the back and both moving in to pressurise the opponents. I thought that'll be suicide but even if they lifted you can still get some sort of downward shot to try to create another pressurised moment to attack and kill. Nice!
Really pleased to hear you found the tips useful. Thanks for the positive feedback
I don't have any proper training except for one day of training, so these type of vids help me a lot
That’s great to hear they help 👍
Great technical analysis and very game like and relevant for any pair to be able to implement into their gameplay-men’,ladies or mixed doubles. Lots for the rear court player to cover depending on how good that first shot is. Very good video thank you. 🏸
Pleased you enjoyed it, thanks for the comment.
I always make that mistake of coming too close to the net...
You’re not alone, it can be a common mistake. By coming away from the net slightly you will have more time for the interception which is a faster shot. Hope this helps, thanks for watching.
@@TheBadmintonZoneHQWIll try :) thx
Going to share this with my club members. Packed with useable content, well done lads.
Great to hear, we hope everyone finds it useful. 👍
What I love most about your training is it is so specific to game situations with 2 or three shots combined. Thank you.
Really pleased you’re enjoying the content. 👍
Good stuff !!
Glad you enjoyed it
I typically find Asian players more relaxed in ready stances compared to European players. Through my Asian eyes, European players especially the women generally exhibit at least some awkward, exaggerated stances and stroke actions which have to be wasting unnecessary energy. Maybe it’s because they are relatively less flexible or maybe it’s just a cultural norm where they think they need to look aggressive and focused to BE aggressive and focused. Sometimes less is more. As Bruce Lee once said, Be Like Water. An exception is the Stoeva sisters, they are always an absolute delight to watch.
Yes I agree with you. The European players tend to stick their non-racket arm out sideways which is very ugly. Not sure where that came from but if you look at LD, LCW and TH and the other top asian players, they don't do that. Anyway whatever works for them! They still do get results, just not visually appealing and cool.
We think that’s a fair comment for sure, they generally look more relaxed. We are keen to highlight the different styles that are used, then players are able to experiment and use what works best for them. Thanks for the taking the time to comment, we hope you liked the video 👍
I very much liked the interception routines for Jessica at the net, particularly the non racket leg push off and deep lunge stepping up to the shuttle. Also on the flat hitting and defensive shots they keep their racket hand a long way in front of the body giving space to backswing to generate that power. Lovely description of what you have seen on the ground with a top mixed doubles pair and nice clips showing the practice in live play. Thank you for showing some mixed doubles training which is often overlooked.
Thanks for the detailed comment, pleased you found it useful. They were great to watch in training.
Those professional drills are very fast paced !
They are indeed.
Interesting video! Liked and subscribed 👍😀
Awesome, pleased you liked it 👍
lol. unreal speed. Thailand Open first round exit again. that's truly unreal exit speed!
You’re clearly not a fan
he's actually controlling the match but his error ruined it
@@TheBadmintonZoneHQ LOL. Another unreal first round exit speed. truly amazing. all he needs is luck.
He is still better than you😂
another unbelievable unreal first round exit speed. WTF. He needs Kuman Thong man
He lost today in Thailand, 😅😅😅
Yes he did
Not sure I could last 1 hour 30 on one set 😂
😂😂 We don’t think you’re the only one. Hope you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching 👍
It was very interesting to see how pros train! I don't normally write comments, but you guys have been putting out some really high quality stuff, I hope this channel gets huge, keep it up!

Enjoyed watching it very much. Thanks for your time!
Thanks for watching
You guys should ask George to change his shoes. George's shoes is slippery making him harder to move quick.
Yes, he hadn’t played for a long time so could have needed changing. The hall was also a tad slippy that day which didn’t help. Hope you liked the content, thanks for watching.

Secret of calf muscles??🥲
Still a secret 😀😂 If we find out a recipe that works we will let you know 👍 Hope you liked the video, it was great to have Loh Kean Yew involved.
great training but lack consistency in tourneys. performances too volatile. today plays like a pro, tomorrow plays like secondary school boy
I’m sure all secondary school boys would disagree
Such an informative video highlighting the contrasting style of training compared to the UK. Interesting insight on prolonging rallies and choosing the right time to attempt a winning combination of shots. Great to see this type of video with live training and Coach commentary. 🏸👍
Glad you enjoyed it!

A good offensive win matches. A good defensive win championships!
It’s definitely important to have both skills when needed 👍
Very nice format, great insights to his training! Liked the video very much.
Thanks very much for the comment, really pleased you enjoyed it. Check out our other content, more from Singapore on the way soon. 👍
Loh Kean Yew’s switch from controlled to explosive movement in an instant is very impressive. It’s also fascinating to get insight into the different training regimes adopted by different players/countries.
It’s very impressive to have such a quick injection of pace.
Secret to calf muscle please 😆
It’s a secret 😂😂 If we figure one out we will let you know. 👍
