Smash Steps
Smash steps can be 1 2 3 4 5
or can be 6
depending on where you are hitting from
ok now
5 is same to the shuttle cock
1 2 3 4
4 together 5
1 2 3 4 5
why clear is 7 and smash is 5 or 6
because shuttle goes faster
the return will be faster so you don't have time to do
normal clear steps
because when your opponent is hitting you have to pause, wait ok
so 5 steps
1 2 3 4 ready
ok with shuttle cock ready watch this
1 2 3 4 ready
1 2 3 4 5
no recovery step just one
go
harder
ready
1 2 3 4
make 1 clear and then net play after that
go
1 2 3
ready go
1 2 3 4
so 1 2 3 4 - 5 becomes 1 again
ready
1 2 3 4
ya you did recovery step
no recovery just one
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4 5
ok next one shuttle goes deeper so one step forward is not enough
so he has to do very fast small recovery and then one
that's 6 steps
ok ready
without shuttle
ready go
1 2 3 4 5
ready go
1 2 3 4 5 ready
ok with shuttle
ready go
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4 5
no recovery now
1 ready
ready go
1 2 3 4 - ok that's recovery without recovery
1 2 3 4
1 2 3
ok that's without recovery
so smash step can be 5
can be 6
but more 5
because shuttle goes fast, some times the player
don't have time to do the fast recovery
but you can do 6 if you can make the recovery really fast
ok, so in badminton there is no one way
there are many ways
depending on how far you are hitting from
how high you are hitting to
how fast opponent act
depending on all those things
the step and the speed of movement
number of steps
will be changed
so player must be able to do all different kind of steps
timings
shuttle can go high
shuttle can go deep
shuttle can go short
so every shuttle is unique
there fore the player step each time has to be unique
