This was a great refresher for me! I still struggle with smash accuracy and power. My biggest problem is the finger power. So many people in the past told me to just hit it as fast as I can to get the most power. You guys show me that it's not the case. Technique is king :)
You need to fully grasp the concept of acceleration in order to control power. One good way to improve finger strength is to grab a bottled liquid as it’s falling down. Your goal is to catch the bottle using your finger grip. Do it a couple of times a day and you’ll see significant improvements. Best of luck!
When I first started, people told me to flick my wrist when smashing, u get power from the wrist. But then I learnt forearm rotation from u and everything made sense.
Struggling these days with my smash it goes out most of the time. May be covid has a part in it but this on my timeline is a blessing. Thank you coach and stay safe. Lots of love and respect all the way from Pakistan....
Such a nice video to learn about smash, by the way your coaching skills were extraordinary any one can easily learn them from you thank you for this video....from INDIA
Additionally, should our thumb's end itself be on the wide side of the racket or out in the air(while the middle of thumb presses against wide side of racket handle)?
Hi Sir, A big fan of your content and much respect. During ready position the wrist should be neutral or rotated outwards and while supinating in the backswing the wrist is flexed, extended, radially deviated or ulnar deviated?
First of all my greetings to Thomas sir,sorry for posting this question here but since it was the most recent video hence I posted here,while holding any kind of grip (forehand grip specifically for smash) should all my fingers rest on the grip or during follow through they can rotate?I am asking this because as a professional badminton player a lot of smashes go with brute power but many times they go with comparatively less power any specific reason?also please tell me the difference in technique between Mavis 350 and as -2 shuttle
Do you personally rotate your grip slightly (towards hammerhead grip) for a cleaner hit when you smash? Is this normal for the top players to do this too? Thanks
Great tutorial, will subscribe to your + service. There is one question: you only mentioned using fingers and forearm rotation but not wrist. You also mentioned in stick smash video not to use wrist. Why is that?
The wrist of course moves but it is together with the forearm rotation. So just saying it to point out that the wrist itself not should do the shot. You dont have any power in the wrist if you only bend that without the rest😉
Thanks for the details on the grip. 😂 But I know the term hammer grip for a tightened up forehand grip (I mean that's how you hold the hammer), allowing strong pronation. You use the term for what I know as rush grip or panhandle grip (probably due to the resulting hitting action that's kinda like using a hammer). Since it's a video, it's clear, I'm just wondering where this different terminology comes from.
Yes the panhandle is also a word for that, I just think it is different what people use. Some of these "weird" words in badminton are made up words as the game has developed through the years... Its only in recent years I have been teaching in English so are still learning 😃 Thomas
Hey I had a query about an irritating opponent I met today in MD. He always served from the front right corner (if he is serving from right side) and served to the T or the way back so that the shuttle would pass over my partner's block first. Could you please tell a good counter to this nonsensical serve and tell if it is even legal?
Haha yes I know that serve, very tricky but also very dangerous because it opens up the court. What you can do is to step into the left field to receive it, but AFTER he has made the serve, it is not legal to do before he hits it. Try this, I´m sure he will think, what's going on, then just say a got a tip from Laybourn 😂🕺
Thanks man. In have always had problem with the overhead smashes. I came here again after a week just to tell u how much this has helped
Forget trick shots.
You need the basics first and smash is one of them.
Good video.
YES you are right, thanks 💪🏻
Correct 👌👌👌
You r right
Yeaah
We all need it harder 🙂
Great explanation! Love it so much! Everyone need to watch this, thanks for sharing 👍👍
Thanks Gayus😉 Regards from Laybourn🕺🏻🤘🏻🤩

indeed, i have a friend that can launch a powerful lob. he swings it full power and misses every time in a whole set :spiderman's boss laugh:

Nice

I injured myself 10 years ago bcz of this one leg jump. I switched to two legs jump and use it more often now
Get to ze choppa smash
I've injured my leg now due to this😢 my knee hurts a lot everytime I sit down or stand up now😥
that's why the footwork and how you land on the ground is important for badminton
ah shit, now Im scared to implement this in my game :(
@Praveen6 investigate rehab exercises
Awesome! I watched many video but this is easiest to understand about correct smash. Thanks.

One of the very good ones!! Awesome .......
thanks been struggling with it when i was competing on the regional level
Good to hear you like it 👍🏻
for me lcw's smash and crosscourt smash swings is very easy to observe, for reference
Sir that was an perfect guide video, helped me a lottt and amazing thing is that I had not done any error in my smashes and the opponent was shocked.
Uhhh great news, good job👏🏻👏🏻
How did u grip switch before the smash. I trying and my smash goes to left hand side of court as a slice.
Additionally, should our thumb's end itself be on the wide side of the racket or out in the air(while the middle of thumb presses against wide side of racket handle)?
a little hammer grip is really useful to my smash. thanks a lot for coach...
Yes that helps to get a more clean shot💪🏻💪🏻💯💯
Hi sir, can you show detail of how finger grip after or during harder smash ?
Nice ideas
Really good detail with text and motion picture!!
Thank you🕺🏻
This video is very good for our amateur player , it is single leg smash and in most of cases we are not able to do double-leg jump smash.
Good to hear 💯
I was struggling with the clean hit and thanks a lot for the tip. :-)
Your smashing welcome 🙏🏻
Is it just me who thinks the great Arnold is talking to us every now and then
"I'll be back" style
Great video by the way

Thanks for your video from south korea**~
Your welcome from Denmark🇩🇰👍🏻
Hi Sir, A big fan of your content and much respect.
During ready position the wrist should be neutral or rotated outwards and while supinating in the backswing the wrist is flexed, extended, radially deviated or ulnar deviated?
none of those
dheeraj mummidi Then?
It should be neutral @@jotkamra4727

This was answered in another video right?
@BadmintonFamly no sir this is a new question actually a somewhat modified version of another question
Do you personally rotate your grip slightly (towards hammerhead grip) for a cleaner hit when you smash? Is this normal for the top players to do this too? Thanks
Yes it is very normal and yes i rotate the grip last second if i choose to hit hard💪🏻
Badminton Famly thank you for this insight 👍🏻

Sir i couldn't synchronise elbow movement with the hip movement!...wat can i do!??🤔
Try to “shoot” your hip forward while moving the elbow as well, takes a bit of time to learn🤘🏻
Thanks for the details on the grip. 😂
But I know the term hammer grip for a tightened up forehand grip (I mean that's how you hold the hammer), allowing strong pronation. You use the term for what I know as rush grip or panhandle grip (probably due to the resulting hitting action that's kinda like using a hammer).

Respect from Pakistan. I m beginner

Hey I had a query about an irritating opponent I met today in MD.
He always served from the front right corner (if he is serving from right side) and served to the T or the way back so that the shuttle would pass over my partner's block first.
Could you please tell a good counter to this nonsensical serve and tell if it is even legal?
By front right corner I mean the corner of the block in the centre plus the side extensions
Haha yes I know that serve, very tricky but also very dangerous because it opens up the court. What you can do is to step into the left field to receive it, but AFTER he has made the serve, it is not legal to do before he hits it. Try this, I´m sure he will think, what's going on, then just say a got a tip from Laybourn 😂🕺
@@BadmintonFamly so where should my initial position be in my box? Centre, between T and back corner,or near T ?
Just normal position so you dont show the opponent you know what he will do👌🏻
Right leg down od important for strong smash??
