before i saw this videos i used to do a lot of jump smash which is not as powerful and always go flat letting the opponent place the return thus counter my smash, the people at our court always make fun of me that my jump smash is way weaker than the others doing regular smash , now those who made fun of me are so afraid to lift to me now they lose points playing out and week drives , thank you greg and jenny for this amazing videos
honestly this channel has been helpful so far for me and i hope it has and is for other people too! this is where i mostly learnt how to play badminton
Another fantastic video..You guys are doing amazing service to the sports world..The way of teaching is refreshing and easy to grasp..Keep up the good work 👍..
Thank you both a lot for your weekly videos. Because of your videos you gave me motivation for being better and playing Badminton more competitive. I will try to join a club and train to be better.
Thank you, Greg and Jenny for this video. Speaking of generating power, the best timing for the “Jump” smashes, is it when your body is on the way DOWN (still near to the top as the momentum shifting downward)? In my experience, you may add your weight (feel a little bit of pulling at the contact) to the smashing and you can also have a shorter "Falling" period to get ready for the next shot. How is your opinion?
Great work! It is worth to mention thou, that jump smash comes it some price. Except your are Goh V Shem, or just have super strong legs, jump smash can turn against you, when it is not a winner. Just keep in mind, that you lose time while dropping down after the jump/hit and even more, you legs/body have to recover longer, before you go for the next shot, if such is necessary. Not to mention the increased chance of ankle injuries when jump smash is executed in a rush, from an inconvenient position.
@@martincstee5335 I don't say not to learn it. I just suggest to be aware of the pro's and con's. Or with other words when "to" and when "not to" use it. Like any other short.
Yes definitely! That's why we said on our previous video there's actually no correlation between jump height and smash power! And for some people it might not be best to do it. Most women on the tour don't jump smash and even quite a few men!
I’m 14,I’ve been playing badminton for 1 year.. also a fan of badminton. Thanks so much for the advice,it’s really helping for me to improve my badminton a lot 😃before I truly learn to train my badminton i hit the ball as hard as I can like tennis bc I thought ‘power’ is the solution😂..really glad I found your channel.😀✌️
I am seeing your badminton videos since half an year and I have been improving a lot I started my badminton coaching last year and now I am a district player.
Tips are good, in fact really really good for players like me. Not only this but all of the videos. Doing great job. Only problem is most of the players are right handed and you both are left hand players. And one suggestion, your videos are little too technical, which takes time to think practice learn. Some time it feels like not natural to the body, seems like an exercise. If we can use our natural body movement for advantages will be better and quick to learn. Came to know when one of my co-player told me that my style of playing is different, didn't understood what exactly he meant.😂 Later realized that I learned badminton from ground-up from RU-vid, never had any direct coach. You and other masters in RU-vid are my coach. So on you guys now who helped me where I am today, enjoying the sport now with lots of good players, which might never be possible without my masters.
I've been trying to Learn this, I'm 14 yrs old, I'm trying to learn how to Time it and How to Jump and Swing it Straight, It's a bit Complicated, but trying my best, This video helps me a lot❤
My god u are only you tube channel which told that you should hold racket lightly or loose while doing smash till contact point I hold it like hammer and it therefore my smashes were slower and misplaced ...by applying your loose grip point my smash speed increased 2-3 folds thanks a tone
anther excellent video, beautifully produced, simple and clear steepness is the main advantage of the jump smash. flatter smashes, unless they are perfectly placed into a large hole, are usually not very threatening because you have a long line along which to make an effective reply. a steep smash restricts the points from where you can make a return, and is therefore much more threatening so question: why dont girls jump smash? aside from a few exceptions, you dont see girls jump smash even at elite levels. a while back i watched girls from the korean national team playing. they were playing very aggressively with a strict ethos of getting and maintaining the attack at all times. in a long tough match i didnt see one clear, even though multiple attacks were repelled many times. also didnt see one jump smash. sometimes i ask strong professional girls, why dont you jump smash? i always get the same answer: i cant. these are super-fit athletes with incredible strength and physical reserves and massive quads, of course they can jump smash... they'd just have to practice it hard like they practice all the other amazing stuff they do. in women's doubles it would mean fewer of those rallies where they tire of attacking so they start clearing the shuttle like it's singles, something you often see in women's doubles even at the highest levels of play. you guys were kinda joking around but jen is right women's defensive skills are an area where they are close to on par with men. so you have this imbalance in women's doubles where attacking skills lag behind defensive skills. i'd like to see more jumping girls
Good question! We would also like to see it more and we are slowly but surely seeing more of it at the top level. As we said in our previous video, there's actually no correlation between smash power and jumping. Therefore due to the complex and physical nature of a jump smash many women may decide to focus on the power of the shot and not angle. Because women have such good defence but sometimes a less powerful smash it may also be a disadvantage performing a big jump smash as they could be left slightly out of position for the next shot!
Great video. You don't need a study at Loughborough to figure out that a shorter time means more force. That's basic physics. Seatbelts are made to increase the time taken for the energy to travel through you, decreasing the force on your body.
I like that you told them to hit it more to my wife. She has been playing a LOT longer then I have and I am watching this video to try to get on her level. hahah
I am fairly new to Badminton, i am very keen to learn and learning pretty fast thanks to your videos. There is one thing that really frustrates me, i miss a lot of my smashes, and sometime i miss hit; but when i do have a good contact it ends up on the net. I would say only 20% of my smashes are successful, do you have any tips for me? Or can you make a tutorial showing how to reduce the number of bad smashes? Thank you.
Hey Greg and Jenny! First of all, thank you for all the work and effort you put in making these videos. I'm 20 years old and currently starting to play badminton at a higher level again, but I've struggled throughout the last two years because of an inflammed and irritated tibia right below my left knee (I'm right-handed). I've seen doctors and physiotherapists and they all recommend me to rest for a long period, after doing this however I play for a couple of months before the pain comes back. I've been having thoughts of quitting badminton because of this annoying pain below my knee. I wonder if you guys know effective exercices to build more muscles to protect my knee/tibia from becoming inflamed. Or any other way to effectively deal with this. Greetings, Hannes
Can't comment on exercises but if it's causing you not to play then would recommend finding badminton courts with sprung flooring. It's amazing better on the knees and ankles than standard vinyl flooring.
Hello. Thanks for your efforts for making these videos. I have watched most of your videos and they helped me a lot. If possible could you make a video about how to estimate shuttlecock is going to fall in or out of course because somtimes its really difficult to make right decision. Thank you so much. Thank you
Great video guys. You mentioned jump out footwork, which along with step out footwork, doesn't seem to have been covered much on youtube. Maybe one for the future ;)
Is it ok if i don't bend my legs? Cause i'm having a hard time doing it, i mean i almost did it but the leg bending part is the most tiring part when i started a game
6:35 goh smash, right shoulder is almost parallel or towards the net after smash 6:41 higashino smash, but right shoulder goes forward after landing (not used in the smash?
Dear Badminton Insight, Thank you for this comprehensive tutorial on jump smash. It's been very helpful 😃😃 If I may request, can we have tutorials on half-smash as well? because it's kinda fun. **Edit: Also request for stick smash tutorials" 😁👍 Best, FRZ
Please bring next video on nutrition, supplement etc and hydration for badminton player. And how much we should drink while training session? bcz many people don't drink while practice. Hope you understand my question. Plz bring on coming videos.
Hi thanks for all of your video and its really helpful for intermediate player like me and to make me a better (hopefully an advance) player soon! Anyway, I used to play with my right hand however because of impingement injury that make me change my mind to start playing with left hand, are there any tips for non left handed to learn playing badminton with my left hand? Moreover, that would be helpful if you could make a video of how to recover from injury of playing badminton (i.e shoulder injury) Thanks a ton!
The point I found the most difficult is to time the jump and the drop of the shuttle. If you jump as high as possible, it is hard to guarantee that every jump has the same height.
Quick question. Why do tennis players "kick" their racket leg backwards when doing a serve? While badminton players kick their racket legs forward when doing a smash. I understand for badminton, this allows more rotation for more power. I dont know much about tennis, can you explain?
Thanks for the great video! I have a question for you: when about to perform a scissor-kick, should one land on the toes of the racket foot when loading for the jump (rather than the balls of the feet or even the whole foot)?
Hi, I always follow your videos and thank you for your excellent training. What advice do you have for someone who wants to strengthen badminton in short?
Please say us some drills for jumping action. I getting nice time with normal smash but I'm not able hits the shuttle properly with jumping action. Some time I even miss the shuttle while jumping and I'm not getting the proper height while jumping.
