Hello and welcome back to Badminton Insight. Now we're often getting asked how do you
improve your timing? Well this is one way. Now in this video we're going to have some fun!
Not only are we going to put our timing to the test, we're also going to test our accuracy.
And at the end of the video we'll be announcing our giveaway, yes we've done some good ones before
but this is by far our biggest one yet so keep watching to the end to find out what you can win
and how to enter! So where exactly is the sweet spot in the racket?
Well most shots are hit just above the middle in this section here. So i've strung
this racket with six strings in the mains and six strings in the crosses to test our timing
and see if we can regularly hit it in the middle so let's see how we get on!
Backhand's alright!
Timing
Just drops to start, I don't want to break the string straight away. Oh shot.
Reverse!
It's a bit unpredictable because it could come off at a different angle.
Oh spin
Okay well that was pretty successful so we're going to ramp up the difficulty
and reduce the size of the sweet spot to four by four strings.
This is basically the same size as the shuttle so let's see how we get on. I'm not very confident
I do think usually overheads, you have a higher sweet spot especially smash.
Reverse slice? No chance!
He's good
Need to go down to 2 strings
Oh such spin!
Surely two strings is impossible right?!
Yes yes yes, ah... Come on keep the same technique
There we go
I can't believe we didn't get that on camera.
Well that was a lot of fun, I'm not sure we'd win many matches with those strings though!
Okay we're now going to move on to practice our lift accuracy where we're going to hit shuttles into
targets that get smaller and smaller. A tutorial is coming on lifts very soon so smash the subscribe
button if you haven't already so you don't miss out on that. Greg bring in the first target!
Easy, forehand?
Nailed it
