This is a priceless exploration of Western badminton, as I think many people here land 2 feet simultaneously. This could be a normal secret in China as everyone naturally knows. You are contributing so much to the badminton world, Tobi.
These coaches for A long time now have been Teaching to Jump n land on Both feet! It only works for Beginners players or Players who seemed Planted on the court everytime and ONLY start to move when the OPPONENT hits! (Kind of late.) Use split legs( Alternate legs- & TRAIN both legs; not ONLY the dominant.
@@bradparmar4728 I think the side-by-side split step is good for beginners as a basis (to learn the split step) and the second step is to learn the side split step left/right/front & back. Bec like he said you only use the side-by-side split step in defense.
Very interesting video. I have noticed that myself that split step varies a lot depending from a player. Wider split step is more defensive and higher is more offensive. Tai Tzu Ying for a example jumps a bit higher because she does directional split steps all the time. So I think that when she is in the air slightly longer she can set the direction better. I think having a proper timing of the split step is making a huge difference. I love watching Okuhara an Yamaguchi because they are so small but cover the court so well. Also they have great technique to get the shuttle back from deep corners :)
Nice video ! It seems to better suits single game (as your examples are only showing single players). Maybe (maybe not) it would be interesting to make a comparison of split steps between singles and doubles as the covered field is quite different.
I've always been struggling with my speed in singles, yet my footwork is pretty fast in shadows. Watching this video might actually help me quite a bit with a more explosive start. Amazing breakdown on something i haven't personally noticed or even heard of before
Super slow motion footage is fantastic! Just like professional racket skills, the split step is so natural at the elite level be so difficult to teach in small sections. The flow from ready, approach, hitting, reset, then ready (again in a longer rally) is beautiful at high level badminton. Thanks for this re-evaluation. As others have mentioned, a look at doubles would be interesting. I also will look at animal reactions to see if they use a preparatory movement.
The best thing about Toabias is that he himself learn the latest techniques from top players & then teach us by simplifying the subtler aspects of these techniques.
Very good tutorial on foot work, more important than anything else, as mastering this makes you get early and effortlessly to the shuttle. I've been practicing this for years and very hard to implement, as it is also tied with how well you can anticipate or read opponents shots. Just a tip: when the shuttle is high in back court, position your feet parallel to the net. When shuttle is in front low to the net, position your feet more perpendicular to the net with racket foot in front.
you are the best no one has touched this topic i too watch matches in slow mo for understanding footwork detail long time looking for a video like this thanks
@tobiaswadenka8435 it's interesting you say that, as I get moaned at for doing this by head coach, I generally run pretty close to what you do and ask students to watch you.
@@jonwhite4630 I would also encourage everyone to question and challenge what I am saying as i am not telling the ultimate truth but what I observe and try to combine it with my understanding of movement and science and what feels right for me. But being open minded about these things is the key to get better and develop as a player as well as a coach
Good Explaining n Slow-motion video. Simply two take aways: 1) Alternate Foot planting timing- Offesive shots( more Time available), Defensive shots( lesser time available, so Do more reaching) 2) Push off the hills (strong Quads+ Glutes are also involved) to Generate more power or Stay with Toe ( strong calfs) pushing as A quick recovery. [ Please correct if I miss- spoke] All the Best
@@tobiaswadenka8435 Yes Thank you. When you say " Big time difference " Is it meaning " Have more time"? PS: Difference is always about Two points or things
Hi i love your videos, they have learned me a LOT. Im a 14 year old boy and have patellar tendonitis (knee injury) i have had it for 1 year but i still want to improve. Any tips? Could you maybe make a video on how to improve whilst injured?
I noticed something that when you land on the first feet on your splitstep. And if the shuttle goes in the opposite direction, then the second feet that lands becomes your first feet landing in the splitstep.
Great video on a subject that certainly merits closer examination! Regarding the front foot vs. full foot debate, what would be your views on this regarding the scissor kick when smashing? Is the extra power potentially gained from planting the full foot worth the extra time required, as opposed to the more explosive speed from the front foot?
Great video. I was waiting for 6 months. Can you please make a video on singles service, where to stand, where to serve, what to expect. Not a single video has been made on this topic so far on the internet. Thank You.
I'm a left-hand player, but my right leg is dominant. Looking at these professionals, I can actually use each leg to start with, depending on the situation. It is not walking but more jumping. I think.
Question: In step one, not only is it that one foot touches first but it seems to be the non racket leg - as per your clips. Is that always the case or just a coincidence? I’ve been learning split step similar to this by slowing down clips. It never made sense to me the way it is traditionally taught and how you can magically make a directional split step without more details. Your insight into corrections takes me one step further to improving. Tomorrow I play so will try for sure.
Well spotted and no this is no coincidence, in most cases it is the non racket leg as this is also the leg that does the quick correction step and by landing with it first the body weight shifts automatically to the dominant leg and you are free with the non dominant leg again to do the correction step. You will only find very few exceptions from that. Keep it up and kind regards 😊🔥
Would I be right in thinking that the players in your example clips are all landing with their non-dominant foot first (all right-handers, so landing on their left foot)?
Yes good observation and you will see that with all players. Usually the non dominant foot is the one, that you want to correct first when you have a wrong position. In my front court tutorial I also showed some examples for the correction steps and you will also see there, that my left foot is the one, that moves first
I have a habit of having my right foot in front (very noticeable ) of left foot when I’m splitting. So it is almost always never both foot lands at the same time . This is even the case when I’m fully in defence position. Most players they land both foot at the same time in parallel. So they can push off either side.
Like I said in the video: In defence try to be more parallel and the time difference should also be way smaller (as long as you don't know very early on what side your opponent will smash)
There are some differences in terms of footwork in doubles and many times you don't have to cover long distances on court, but as soon as you have to: Yes! Then you also want the time difference in the split to become faster. And I use 3U rackets =)
I've always found the fencing style advance and reverse steps most effective for speed. The so-called split step, slap the floor with both feet juvenile and brain aching. It irritates me when it is advocated. Mind you some people seem to get stuck to the ground and can't move dont know what their problem is but its likely theyve got brain ache wondering how on earth theyre going to do the split step theyve been told to do.
Mình chỉ có 3 người thôi, tưởng hết rồi cuối cùng Thượng Đế giới thiệu cho một người khác là pé Thương. Tấc cả những người còn lại đều hoặc không có gì hoặc không quan trọng, muốn moi ra thì đưa tiền đây, đừng được nước làm tới. Túm lại những người còn lại trong tâm mình không hề có ý nghĩ xấu là được. Các người có bao nhiêu bí mật moi hết ra xem nào, cần đặt mình vào người khác, đừng giở trò cay độc. Còn những người trước đây quen biết mình, sao vạch áo cho người xem lưng làm gì, muốn chứng tỏ bản thân từng là thê thiếp của thằng này sao, hay đang ganh tị với vị trí chính thất, nói nghe xem nào??

this video helps me both badminton and English listening proficiency.
The pronunciation of each word is very clear.
Good break down of such a subtle thing in footwork. Thank you 😊
i’m learning the split step for tennis. got more out of your lesson than most tennis videos. thanks 😀
Omgggg you are backkkkk. Always look forward to watching your videos
Thank you =)

👍 one addition about no. 1: defence -> small to no time difference, offence -> big time difference
@@tobiaswadenka8435 Yes Thank you. When you say " Big time difference " Is it meaning " Have more time"?
