Your foot work steps and demonstrations are so clear and concise it's a pleasure to watch, and put in a mental picture so you can carry out a training. many thanks
Thank you so much for the videos they are incredibly insightful, just recently taken up badminton and no one can believe my progress in such a short time thanks to your video coaching. Just letting you know people in South Africa are watching your videos too. Hope and looking forward to more.
+Keanan Lewthwaite Hi there, I'm glad that this video helps to improved your game. Please share the video to help and to promote badminton in South Africa. Thank you.
Thank you for the video, it is a very clear explanation of all parts of the shot. I just have one thing to query. As you finish your scissor kick you keep your foot perpendicular to the baseline. I was told to avoid doing this as it puts a lot of strain on your achilles tendon and does not utilise your body biomechanics properly. Instead I was told to turn your foot outwards to that it is somewhere between 0-45 degrees to the baseline (depending on playing comfort). Since altering to this method I have found the pain in my achilles has gone. If you watch the pros (even in this video) you will see they do this. Do you have any comment?
Hi Coach Glad to see you posting videos again! I am a junior with a weak smash. Anyone can return my smash with a high lift. This forces me to keep smashing and I get tired very fast. People can even return my "netkills" or some easy midcourt smashes. Do I need to go to the gym or improve my technique. I think sometimes I accidentally slice the shuttle. Thanks Natty

Mr.Kowi, thanks for the video. Really detailed and concise. However, i have heard that the flexing of the wrist at the moment of impact is wrong. it should be pronation instead and the wrist should go from cock to neutral position only, with the flexing of the wrist. This can be seen for all international players smashes or clears in slowmo, their wrist stay relatively neutral with the flexing of the wrist. What are your thoughts on this?
Hi Joel, your comment is valid. I think you are right, you still need to do arm pronation before flexing the wrist. But for certain shot such as flick shots/ sudden shots , mostly only use your wrist. One day I will try to cover this question on my future coaching video. Please let me know if you have any other comment. thank you.
KC Badminton thanks for the reply but what i wad trying to say is that i heard from other people which says that the power comes from forearm pronation only and not the wrists at all. The wrists does not go beyond the neutral position. Is this correct?
+Gulamabbas Khimji Yes, you can do sidesteps if the opponent shot is far on your forehand corner. please see this video on this link : ua-cam.com/video/Fnr5aiNe_h4/v-deo.html ( min : 5:16 ) hope this help to answer your question. Thank you.
4dv4rch3r Hi there, thank you for your question. let me give you example, it is very similar like basketball, if you shoot a ball to the ring, before you shoot the ball you will bend your wrist backwards, with ball in your palm (that's what i called locking your wrist), when you shoot the ball to the ring, you will flick your wrist forward (that's what i called unlocking your wrist). That's just the example and i hope you get the picture of it. :) So when you hit the shot in badminton, you apply the same example as i explain above, by flicking your wrist to hit the shuttle. let me know if this answer your question. Thank you.
kowChan86 Thank you for the reply, I was just wondering because I was told that the proper way is to keep wrist still and use forearm rotation to hit the clear. Have you heard of this method to hit?
4dv4rch3r Hi there, Yes, i know what you mean. use forearm rotation to hit the clear is correct, i do use that too, but when make an impact to the birdie, you must apply a whipping motion using your wrist, so that you will get extra power on your clear shot. If your wrist still when you do clear or even smash shot, potentially your shoulder will tent to get stiff. I guess it depends on skills level as well, if you have a strong wrist, you can actually make a clear shot by only whip your racket and squeezing your finger. But yes, you can use your forearm method, it will work too as well.
I AM VXB hi there, thank you for comment. May i know in which minute of video you notice my grip is little to high? because i suppose to grip at low grip, please advise. Thank you
I AM VXB ahhh now i get it lol!! yes i like to grip my racket all the way up for personal preference, and some grip their racket only 1/2 of their grip, like Lin dan, lol. I'm just to lazy to cut them lol.
Mr kowchan86 thx your video and is really useful for me, here i have problem with my thumbs and it appear dead skin once i practices forehand clear. Any tips or method did i goes wrong?
+Emerson Lee Hi Emerson, I think it is pretty common if you have not used to it the motion, and the grip, sometimes you will get blister on your thumb skin, but i believe after awhile practice the motion, it will get better and better. Please let me know how it goes. thanks
Hi Coach Chandra, I did the methods that you show in the video but somehow my clear shot can not reach all the way to the baseline. The birdie usually end up in the middle of the opponent's court. Is my wrist too weak or I hold the racket too tight or other problems??? Please help.
Hi there, thanks for asking. I wish i can see how you clear, so i can identify the problem. How long have you been playing badminton for? and what is your level? are you still beginners? i can only advise to practice more, it will take sometimes to develop strength on your wrist. But most importantly, make sure you have proper form swing motion and correct contact point. ( If you can record your video, i probably can help take a look the problem) hope this help.
I always have a problem of hitting the cork which comes in the centre of my body is there any trick to do it plz tell me how to come out of this prolem plz
+Arpan Mahapatra Hi there, are you referring to a drive shot, when your opponent hit to the center of your body or when defending? I will make defense video later, it's in my project list! please stay tune, and if the video are out, i will let you know. Thank you again for watching the video.

Hello Coach Chandra, how should I lock and unlock the wrist when i hit the shot?
