You’re welcome, pleased you enjoyed it. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks very much, really pleased to hear you found it useful. 👍

@@TheBadmintonZoneHQ Would you say Jia Min's style is well suited to playing a tall opponent? Flattening off lifts and clears seems advantageous (so long as the shots are fast enough not to be intercepted).

@@TPToE yes it would be good against tall opponents assuming the lift can’t be intercepted as you mentioned. It could also be useful against deceptive players as you are giving them less time on the shuttle.

Hold racket higher/hold the racket closer to the cap

Yes we can look at this for sure in the future 👍

Thanks for the comment. If you struggle with long rallies then it could be an idea to apply pressure right from the return of serve or 3rd shot. You may have to take on more half chances and be bold in certain positions as you are trying to cut down rally length. Use your speed to hurt people early in the rally. The other option could sometimes be hitting big lifts or clears just to give yourself a bit more time to recover and breathing space. Let us know how you get on, great to hear you’re back on the singers court 💪

An idea in the short term while you develop your weaker areas could be to focus on moving your opponent to different corners as much as possible, this will play to your strength of having decent cardio in the hope you will be able to outlast them. It doesn’t mean you have to play fast and aggressive, you can even add height to your shots but ensure you maximise the depth and width of the court. Hope that gives you something to think about, let us know how you get on. Thanks for the comment.

@@TheBadmintonZoneHQ Thank you for the tips! I'll be sure to try moving my opponent around more. I'll also be working on my short accuracy and footwork too. Appreciate it!

It sounds like you have a clear idea of your style but sometimes lack the execution and consistency you want. You maybe snatching as attacking too early or haven’t created enough space. You may find a clearer chance may present itself, you may feel more on balance or you have moved your opponent around to create more space. This may stop you snatching as much knowing you have a larger area to hit into or just feel more in control.

@@TheBadmintonZoneHQ I think I snatch because i'm there too early or wrong shot selection because of this space issue? Not quite sure what you mean by space, I assume I'm too close to the shuttle. Which means, how does a player choose when to take shuttle early or later, place or pressure shot?

@@SamSam-xx6dv it’s a balancing act for sure knowing when to build the rally and when to try and finish the rally. If your snatching at the shot when you have time and in a good position you can try and think about applying pressure to your opponent rather than hitting a winner, this may help you relax more and stop snatching as much.

It would be a good plan to feel like you have the option to hit more winning shots. In the meantime keep frustrating people with your good defence, make sure you give yourself time on your lifts and clears to be able to get ready. Your speed can always be used as a good retrieval skill as well. Having a good defence and speed is a big positive, don’t be afraid to build your game around those assets and add the attack rather than feeling like you have to change your game plan completely. Hope that makes sense, thanks for watching. 👍

👍 Good idea. Hope you enjoyed the video.

They are some great assets to have. You could try using your speed to out manoeuvre your opponent, when you get a good opportunity to attack you can take it. Make sure you don’t rush your attack though and get desperate, use your speed first to create gaps or to get into a good/balanced hitting position Thanks for watching, hope you found the video useful 👍

@@TheBadmintonZoneHQ thanks

Not sure I’m afraid but it will be a Li Ning racket as the whole squad are sponsored by them.
