What Destroys Your Smash (12) Doing the Sliding Step
Can you please spot the difference
between the first way of movement
and the second way of movement for smash
ok the first one
I am talking about the feet movement
the first one
1 2 3 4 5 6
the second one 1 2..3 4 5 6
ok I will change my view
so you can see in different direction
ready
the first one
1 2 3 4 5 6
the second one
1 2..3 4 5 6
ok last
the other way
focus on my feet
the first way
1 2 3 4 5 6
the second
1 2..3 4 5 6
can you see the difference
you may, you may not
I will explain to you
what is different
ok the first one
1 - little bit hop
2 - hop
3 - hop
ok watch this
1 2 3
so between 1 jump, 2 jump 3
the first way is little bit hop each step
that way my whole weight is moving together
exact point of the space
where I need to go
the second one
I hop
and then between 2 to 3
this player sliding it
so there is time two feet are on the floor together
so what makes this problem
number 1 his weight is divided
number 2 he has to move backwards
ok watch this
1 2 3
if you hop between 2 to 3
your whole weight is stopped
and then your whole weight can go forward
now compare
1 2..3 4
one more
1 2..3
3
this makes
smash poor
because when you are hitting
your weight is going back
when you are hitting
you cannot put whole of your weight
to the shuttlecock
so you must not slide
you must not make sliding steps
like this
1 2..3
3 4
instead
1 2 3
1 2 3 4 5 6
1 2 3
not
1 2..3 4
so that way
your whole body going backward
your arm is going forward
so its divided
like this
1 2..3 4
change this to
1 2 3 4
when you go to your club to play
please try
each step until the hit, has to be hopped
1 hopped, 2 hop 3 4
Not this way
1 2..3 4
that destroys your smash in particular
and clear, drop shots
all of your forehand shots makes poor.
