1. feet need to be wider apart 2. knees need to be bent a little more 3. lean forward slightly 4. keep the racket head at throat level while keeping the hand at armpit level 5. maintain a neutral trip that allows for backhand and forehand shots 6. tap the bird, do not swing. 7. refrain from intentionally moving your upper arm… in other words lead with your forearm and wrist
derockn00 Totally agree!!! (you have a great understanding of the return) BTW leaning forward if you are keen on taking the shuttle early else neutral posture in the upper body (i personally lean forward) Relaxed grip up until point of contact with shuttle. Whip like action on the tap backhand return (do not swing) Fluid movement from legs up (don't be stationary before and after the return as you will snatch shots rather the play them) Very valid point made about keeping the racket up. So many fail this and keep racket low (which reduces reaction time)
it depends on the smash. if the smash is flat u use to block it but when the smash is deep to the centre court u need to lift it higher to the base line. wrist power are important.
I know these guys personally, Sean and Julio are way better than they were on the video. No, idea what went wrong. Sean started training really early, regular club players won't even reach that level.
RJS98 I don't go around recording stuff and upload it on UA-cam claiming it to be a 'tutorial' now, do I? Just shut up next time and save yourself from looking stupid with that idiotic reply. You can clearly see the smash was weak and failed attempts on blocking the smash. Am I suppose to say, ' well done boys..you guys smash way better than Lee Chong Wei and Lin Dan. You guys are great.' No. Because I am not a keyboard warrior with a stupid comeback like you.
Gameday Schameday Hi there mate, I think you're being a bit of a bitch right now. I don't think you understood what I meant. What I'm trying to say is that he probably smashed it slow so the other guy could return it. P.S. I use an IPad, no keyboard ;)
Well, ol' Julio managed to get three of the five rather tepid smashes back over the net using the instructor's technique. I guess that they had already decided that they weren't going to do more than one take on the filming.
well, this may be useful in singles and certain times in doubles. But most of the time in doubles, which is when you would see most smashes, one of your opponents will be standing in front of the net to kill your block.
you dont return smash to net if you playing double, cuz if there's a little mistake you would get net smash from opponent at front net. unless the opponent on defense mode. but i got the idea what you trying imply. you return the opponet smash by using shuttlecock momentum, right? so you dont need full lift, just need a little tap.
You said by mistake but true that it covers only 330 degrees! If you have decided to defend only with backhand anyway, why bother holding racket with neutral grip.
like my friend..he smash so fast..if you playing in single you should go to the middle and wait for his smash then try to save with diving if he gives far from you.and if you can block his smash dont give at the back just give him at infront and give a drop
It's really just practice. No matter how fast someone smashes, in the end, you're only intercepting the smash, which is why you will and are supposed to be faster. If you are slower, it just means you need more practice.
Bad Video. Dont listen to it.....Just go out in Baddy Court, ask other player to hit smashes and start returning. Practice daily. Nothing else required.

You should do a video, can't be worse than this 😜
Damn his ACCENT IS amazing

For a tutorial video, there were too many failed blocks..
And the smash was weak..

Gameday Schameday Can you do better? I'm pretty sure it was for 'video' purposes

thanxxxx...........it helped me a lot......thanxxx for upload.......keep helping by uploading such videos....
oh yes i didnt think this all of my opponents hit a smash when they get the chance you gave me a nice tip coach thank you
Sir how to keep the foot in serving.
Is it necessary to keep the racket foot always in front while serving?
its all just about your reflex and your experience on the match and good technic of course.
Thanks for the tutorial Dave, is it best to smash at the 30 degrees that the backhand cannot get too??
Whose barber shop have they converted into a badmminton court?
half went in the net. but I get the general idea! :)
damn so this is how america loses at badminton
Ryan Kho America is never in the Olympics lol
、
but if you just block the smash may not be as powerful as it could be and it might not reach over the net?
well, this may be useful in singles and certain times in doubles. But most of the time in doubles, which is when you would see most smashes, one of your opponents will be standing in front of the net to kill your block.
its because your block isnt far back enough to the baseline
he kinda sounds like morgan freeman, great vid sensei
bro I was gon say that, y u stealing the good comments?
Totally Helped me when playing Badminton with my classmates

What if the tension of the racket is not high, don't you need to swing?
nah the high your tension racket the more you need swing, cuz the idea of rackert string its like catapult,,,
You said by mistake but true that it covers only 330 degrees! If you have decided to defend only with backhand anyway, why bother holding racket with neutral grip.
thanxxxx........it helped me a lot.......
Great video
Good advice.
Those weren't really smashes. My classmates smash so fast that you can't even see the shuttle. How do you block that?
Unagi 😀👈🏻
like my friend..he smash so fast..if you playing in single you should go to the middle and wait for his smash then try to save with diving if he gives far from you.and if you can block his smash dont give at the back just give him at infront and give a drop
mine to this tech ique wont work they smash so fast u cant even see it till its behind u
It's really just practice. No matter how fast someone smashes, in the end, you're only intercepting the smash, which is why you will and are supposed to be faster. If you are slower, it just means you need more practice.
now i just wanna practise my jumping smash if i jump then smash,i give them not powerful cause my jumping smash doesn't strong at all
very helpful for me thanks
You asked a left handed to show us the defend? How about the right handed one to be fair?
+Christina Chong it is the same.....just do it in the opposite direction
Helped a lot
Dave zarco the ultimate bossman
The trainee ( red tshirt) try to smash his coach..... Hahahahahah
I lol-ed at that part too.
syamsul yudin ngakak njir
nice voice, thank you for making this video
no, thats not indonesian....if indonesian, it will be the greatest demonstration at all
Thanks for tutorial ,, I can Smash but can't return smash from my friend
Smash not found.
Whether the smash is weak or not, if ur doing it on HALFCOURT the technique is the same
I hope I can win in the municipal meet
nice videos
WOW ! So many shuttlecocks ! :)
Not good idea. You need to clear the net when returning a smash or else the person at the net in doubles is going to strike back.
Wow i did know this but i swing too hard thats why my opponent does continous smash.
really useful.
it's not a smash, it's a drop shot
yeah he is good coach
Nice
Smasher plays since two weeks
thanks
Who is this man? Never heard of him..
thannkss
they are really poor by skills... many shots hit to the net....
why this coach looks like Malay ?
The smash is not even wht is compared to others that show no mercy and the defence is too many mistakes
The smash speed was poor, and it is not a smash it's drop shot
My smash was more strong than the weak boy...
a piece of cake
Are u indonesian?
Where is smash
Smash not drops
Bad Video. Dont listen to it.....Just go out in Baddy Court, ask other player to hit smashes and start returning. Practice daily. Nothing else required.
that smash technique was horrible
U nearly got hit at the end of this video..
That's why world renowned doubles players use it all the time right? LOL
that's only a wek smash. .if you get into a real court and play with hard opponents. .that tactic would not work
the demmo !!. . are not too,,, good
demo by a left handed wasnt such a good idea...
He smash like a kid there no power so u can just block it
Teach me !!!!!!
Actually you need to train these two guys first for better videos :-p
Well the coach is mostly right, the demonstration not so good...
he's left handed
1.40
Is that even a smash...???
the guy 'blocking' is awful, but good advice nonetheless
Apoopan kidilam
i 'm gonna try this if it didnt work,............................................................
aaano right!
i thought he's a malaysian lol
LIKE
the demonstrator is not that good...
lol his face looks like Malay pak cik XD
Dammit culio
Smashes are very weak,, improve
The way he says badminton is annoying ...
Filipino
Americans are bad at badminton, wrong technique lol
Thanks ^_^
they are really poor by skills... many shots hit to the net....
