Where the impact point should be in order to make
accurate and powerful smash
lets talk
shuttle is flying from that side to this way
I am hitting shuttle cock from this side to that side
there fore the players face, players eyes
must remain that way, shuttle is coming from there
there fore the players eyes should be that way
so I can see shuttle cock, at the same time
I can see opponent, opponents court
surprisingly many players they are turning their vision
turning their face to that side
so actually, they are watching that way
when shuttle is coming this way
and this player have to hit that way
many of them they turn face like this
and shuttle becomes side
what happens, they do set like that and then turn
and then they have to turn to the other way
so they lose vision, because they turn this way
they see that side but this player is not
hitting shuttle cock over there
why this player have to watch that side
so, this player is smashing with guess
face that way and then some where over there
he guess and smash, because he turned the body like that
his power will be divided
it will be much more accurate and powerful
if this player watch shuttle in front of his body
so he can see and his weight can go to the shuttle cock
all the way
rather than
turn it and then turn it like this
I know why player turn their body
one of the reason is to generate power
another reason is deceive the opponent
so because he is turning
player is arguing opponent don't know what I am going to do
but I dis agree because he turns
this player does not know where the corner is
another way, he is not only deceiving the opponent
he is also deceiving him self
the best badminton is accurate, simple, powerful
the way to do this way is
take shuttle in front
so now technically
watch this
set ready
arm no like this
this is important arm should be away
side ways like this
not like this
why?
if a player do that
like this and shuttle comes
his racket will go like this
if a player do that and shuttle goes up
his racket will go straight
so watch this, set shuttle comes
this arm should go straight ready
so he is ready to hit it fastest way, simplest way
watch this
set, ready
if my court is like that, my net is there
shuttle is there
shuttle been hit to my side
watch my face, my face should remain that way
like this
but 8 or 9 out of 10 players
when shuttle been hit to them
many of them they do that
so this posture is very good to hit over there
because I can see there, but he is not hitting
shuttle there, so arm forwarded
left arm balanced
no like this
like that
so, that's number 1 point ready
shuttle been hit, this arm goes straight to the shuttle cock
I am focussing on eyes in this technique
ready shuttle been hit over there
bang
then your face should go that way
in the real match there is no time to turn and hit
if opponent hit 10 clears in the real match
to the back how many times this player have time to turn
and then hit
may be 1, when opponent lift really high
he may do it but still its not beneficial
so watch this, eyes
shuttle been hit to my left corner
then, your face remains, go like this bang
one more
eyes, face do that bang you are ready you can see it
wrong way
like this
shuttle been hit over there
you should move that way, so I have vision
rather than turn it and hit it
do you know dart, throwing the dart
when the dart player set, they set the dart in front
and they can see the dart, they can see the target
and they throw in front, no dart player
throw dart like this
finally, I will give you example
if I say to you, you do 10 smash cross line from here to there
if he hit some areas 10 times I will give you million pounds
10 smash, 10 shuttle goes all the same area
I will give you million pounds
if I say it to you would you smash like that
or would you smash like this
you would not smash watching there and smash there
because you can't see it, because you can't see it
you have to hit it with guess
you would not do this way if there is million pounds
but why you do that is because there is no million pounds, no
it does not matter
every sportsman must do
the best possible way
I have not came across why the player should take side ways
yes I agree some times player has to do that because he is late
the problem is he has time to get behind it
but because he was not taught that way
because he has bad habit he automatically turns it
so now when you go to club watch
how many players they turn the body
they turn their face
they turn their eyes to that side
when shuttle is coming from there to here
when he has to hit shuttle from this side to the other side
what reason he has to turn
there is no reason
there is no benefit
only benefit lose vision, lose balance, lose power
lose deceptions
please try to smash cross smash there from here
that way smash or do that way smash how much difference
you can see that
if the player has wrong impact point
which is not in front
take shuttle side
he is losing 40% of benefit already
so what ever he does, he is only able to do 60% of what is available
so please make your impact point right
which is in front of your body
and do not turn your eyes to only shuttle cock
you have to watch shuttle cock with opponent
opponent court together
that is high level badminton
as level goes lower they only watch the shuttle cock
they forget about opponent, opponent court
