When you smash, what kind of smash can you do
to create opportunity
watch this
ok, when reasonably good player when they lift
they move little bit backwards and their racket is like that
as James prepared, ok ready for smash
watch
if smash goes there fast
ok lift
bang
it does not matter how hard you smash, easy
but you should be doing, 1 2 3 4
4 different shots
number 1
sliced smash
instead of shuttle goes there
shuttle comes down bit short
because you sliced, number 1 shot
number 2, instead of doing fast smash
fast smash
do slow smash, yeah little check smash
so speed is bit slower, so he is ready for fast smash
and then suddenly shuttle comes slower
its difficult to time it, second shot
not full smash, check smash
third shot, watch this
some times deleborately, smash here
ready
not here
and then there
ready
there
so instead of smash this area where your opponent is ready,
some times you smash there and then he will do like that
when you smash here be careful, don't smash too hard
then because if he leave it, it might go out
so when you smash here, it has to be little bit weaker
ok watch this
I am going to do full smash and then I will use slice smash
see what happens
ok keep lifting
again, same
so as you saw it, because shuttle comes little bit shorter
because of the slice, it is difficult
because he was expecting the shot to come to him
now shuttle is dropping he has to move
next one you smash hard and then do the check smash
not hard smash, you do this smash when shuttle is very deep
because for deep lift if you smash, you loose balance
you loose speed, you give opponent to damage you
normal smash here and then suddenly do that
meaning of check smash is 2 things
because you are not using all your body action, yeah little tap
so you are ready
if you do full smash it takes more time to get ready for
the next one, because you checked you are ready for the next one
ok, so what happens you do check smash and then make
lift little bit shorter or little difficult
and then do full smash like this
yeah normal smash
normal smash
check smash
and then like that
next one
smash different directions as you saw
ready
diagonal
its easy
and then smash there
ok watch this
normal smash
and then smash there
now when you are doing that kind of variety of smash
your opponent will feel uncomfortable
because he does not know what kind of smash
but if you smash all the time same power
same angle, does not matter how hard smash you have
the last one power smash
you use it when your opponent lift is little bit short
then you really smash
ok ready
normally
in this case, smash about that place ok
if I smash backhand
its easy
again
if I smash there its easy
but if I smash there difficult
again
here
so, when he is ready, every body more ready for backhand
because they are weak, in this case don't smash here
smash there, make him like that or like this
yeah this area
