Thank you coach Lee. You have helped me improve the game tecniques by leaps and bounds. You still are a dictionary of badminton techniques for me. And I also like the manner in which you teach with lots of passion and warm heartedness. I wish you well. I wish you happiness. Thanks again.
You are most welcome. The best way to fix your problem is to use mirror. If you do noy have large mirror then use window as mirror. stand in front of it and see your self swing. This way you will see how you swing and correct your swing. I did it a lot when I was young. Lee
Thank you very much for your kind comment on my clips. I am very pleased to know that there are someone like me value my clips. Thank you very much for taking time to post your comment. Lee

Dear Sir.Mr lee,i m a level one bdmton coach and i had viewed most of your videos, I found it to very inspirational and it has help in my coaching as well, the lessons that u hv demonstrated has help me a lot. I am very thankful, it has sharpen up my skill as well,many thanks and best regards wherever u are and good health.HCPang
Thank you for good question. To win a match, accuricy, power, deception are important factors. What I am doing and traching is using less arm rotation and more wriist/finger power action as in this way the shot can be changed at the last moment and please remember that there are times you can not use arm rotation skill when you are much under pressure. I am not against using the rotation but I am using it much less and wrist skill can be also used far better when under pressure. Lee
Hi Mr.Lee, thanks for all your videos. they're extremely helpful to people like me who cant afford to pay for badminton classes. Its rare to see a person who has such passion in this sport eager to help others. God bless you and take care, mr Lee.
You bhave a very eyes to see all that. You are right body, arm, left arm, feet movement, shoulder movement all add the power. When the arm rotate, wrist will be used. What I stess is less arm rotation and add more wrist action. In normal shot, arm lotation will be involved but I prefer to use it less to make shot more deceptive. What you discribe is very standard ways of hitting clears and smash. The way I prefer is bit different by stessing different part of body more then others. Lee
Yes thank you very much. Excellent instruction and demonstrations. The first video I saw of yours was the proper grip one and I have slowly progressed through your videos.
Lee Sir, Thank you for all videos, I'm a Disabled person planning to play in SL3 category , I'm practicing everyday . Your videos will help me to overcome which I made mistakes. Thank you sir. Abin
I am very pleased to know that your smash become powerful with my clip. Thank you for posting your comment as it is great to know my clips are helping players like you. Lee
Dear HC Pang, Thank you very much for your comment on my clips. I am very pleased to know they are beneficial to your badminton. Thank you for taking time to post your comment. Lee
Yes the timing of hitting is different if you use racket cover. It is used to improve the strength not the timing. I can see why you worry about it but based on my experience, it does not really damage the timing. Please try that is best way to find out your self. Lee
This technique of practicing with head cover is working great for me. It is helping me not rushing into the shot. In addition, the clears are reaching the back court. Great tip, dear Lee. When I am under pressure, I am still rushing into the shot, but I can see the difference now myself.
Thank you for your kind comment on my clip and I am pleased to know they are helping you. I personally like bit heavy racket then light one. I do not have much information on the light rackets and I am sorry being not much help. Lee
It is different depending on the space you have and the kind of shot you would like to do. If you do check smash then you use your wrist only 10-20% but if you do full power smash and you have much time and space then you should use your wrist to the end until it locks. If you do attack clear/smash type of clear then you use wrist in full with less arm action. You are most welcome and I hope it answers your question otherwise please fell free to come back. Lee
I am very please to know that there are someone who follows my clips to improve the level of play. I am proud to be your online coach. Thank you very much for taking time to post your comment and keep your hard training go and feel free to ask if you have questions. Lee
Coach Lee, I think you are the best coach available on UA-cam ....i love your explanations..they are very technical yet very well explained...i wish you good health and look forward to you future clips.
Thank you very much for your kindest comment on my clips. I very much thankful for you to take time to post such comment. Thank you for your kindest wish and God bless your family. Lee
Yes it would be better to make impact point higher, there are three ways to jump. 1. switch feet and same time jump it is used in normal time. Get to the position and then jump by two feet together, it is used when you have time/opponent lift high. 3 side jump, it is used you you have not much time but you want smash before opponent is ready for it. Lee
The advice I'll give might seem gimmicky at first but it worked for me! I advise you to go and look at Lin Dan's smashes. His power seems to come from nowhere, as if he is just "clipping" down the shuttle with his forearm. I spent about 2 weeks trying to replicate this in the mid-court area and it has naturally worked into my smash without taking out any of the technique I already know. It has helped put in the angle to my smash that I know a lot of people lack, without sacrificing power
The important thing is to hit shuttlecock fast, deceptively and be able to hit without mistakes. The skill has to be developed for that purpose. Many players are focusing the theory and lose the practical aspect. Lee
Coach Lee, thank you for this very helpful video :) I wasn't very great at smashing, but until I watched this video, I instantly took my racket and go out practice. Now I am great at it :) I didnt know the wrist is the most important until I watched this. And thank you again for making this video :)
Rasmussen also talked about how to smash on UA-cam, BUT not to the point. Coach Lee is 100% dead on on how to hit a powerful smash. Respect! Post more video please coach!!
Coach, I too (like your student) have the same problem of hitting smashes with my arm bent. Do you have any exercises to fix that?? This exercise and the way you explained it sitting in a chair is fantastic!!! Understanding the movement helps me to visualize it. Thank you very much for these lessons.
Even if you're a better player you should respect him like you have to respect players, that are much more better than you. We are all grateful for Lee's videos and for the young people who take part in it.
I am not against the skill and I do agree with it. The difference I am making is two.1. how much to use the skill is different to the situation. Under pressure, it has to be used much less but it can be used more when there is time. 2. Many unexperienced players got the skill wrong and ruinning their badminton. In backhand and forehand the skill has to be used about 70-80% but there are 20-30% badminton skills which can be done without it.
Hi Coach Lee! When you say use the wrist you mean the pronation of the arm or the actual wrist movement in vertical direction? Can you please clear. We were told not to use the wrist.
Hi coach,thanks for your excellent video, it helps me a lot.But on the other hand,I always find my smash going to flat and didn't have a good angle,causing the shuttlecock to go to long. I wonder whether I should use more wrist power or should I my arms go down quicker after I hit the shuttle, I would be pleased if you can give me some advice,thank you.
Sir i'm very gland you replied ! You are the best coach ! i've notmet you in person but i bet you're the best ! i follow you regularly and dream to be just like you ! thank you again !
Hi Sahil I am sure you can be even better ten me. If you believe and desire for it anything can be done. Believe in your self and tarining well then one day you will be very good. Thank you for your comment. Lee
I think players chould be able to do different ways of hitting. If you look at a match there are a lot of differebnt situations. The situation you can use the rotation skill but there is time you do not have time and space to the rotation skills. I am doing the ritation skills but as I mentioned I do it may be 20%. Players should be able to taught all different ways nand be able to see strength and weakness of each skill and be able to adpt it in each situation. Lee
@coachingbadminton thank you so much coach! Iv'e been playing badminton a lot and this video made my smash stronger which got me in varsity in school!!!
Thank you for your wonderful videos. Currently I have no badminton coach but by watching your videos, it's like I am being coached! I am now able to do a great forehand clear and a forehand smash. Will you ever do a video on a backhand smash? I would love to learn it.
Sure I will but there are other viseds I have planned before so please give me sometime. I am very pleased to know that you feel that way with my clips. Thank you. Lee
thanks alot this video helps me alot to improve my smash skill snd make it more powerful. I feel by my haert that you are my really coah from this long distamce. thank you coach lee
Great video! i now understand the concept and why my smashing never worked when i used my arm power! Ive been practicing without a birdy and im wondering if im doing it wrong because the bone just below the pointer finger hurts me everytime i practice smashing? My wrist also hurts too
I think you should rest for a week or two to get better and try to do it again. Practising without shuttlecock is good too but you must imagine the shuttlecock and really mean to hit it. If you do it without real hitting imagination, then you do not get much benefit of doing it. Lee
Yes I did see both of the clips and my comment on all of your clips are in my reply. Please study and try to understand what I have comment on your clips. Lee
Thanks sir for the nice videos for amateur players like us....I just have a query.. when I make a smash from slightly back of the court , it goes to the net...at about 3-4 inches from the top of the net...sir, what adjustment or training I need to do....
Coach Lee, thanks for the video. I have some power in my smash, but I feel that I generate the power in a wrong way. How do I know if I am using too much arm or shoulder strength? Sometimes I can feel the smash "works" and the power is increased. However I cannot do that consistently.
If wrist is cocked up when set, in the actual hiting of the shuttle, how far down should wrist go? Because I try hitting flick wrist downwards and I feel discomfort on the back of the wrist. Should wrist be flicked straight till aligned with arm, or continual downwards until it is locked? Thankyou for helping
Coach Lee. This video has been very helpful to me. I play badminton for physical education class in school. I play badminton every other day and I have noticed that I am improving. BUT my backhand is very weak, I can return some, but not all in the area I want it to go. I was wondering if you could tell me a tip or two. Thanks!
Thank you and I am very pleased to know this clip is beneficial to you. The best way to improve your backahnd is to view my backhand related clips first and let me know if you have any questions. Lee
