Jump before you smash the shuttle - badminton tips,badminton training,badminton coaching

Master More Advanced Techniques

Jump before you smash the shuttle:

Once you've mastered the standard smash, you can practice jumping up as you smash the shuttle. This will give you even more momentum and will make the shuttle fall into your opponent's court even faster. Just jump up a foot or two, aiming your chest and body in the direction that you want the shuttle to go, and smash it at the center of its arc.

Smash the shuttle - badminton tips,badminton training,badminton coaching

Master More Advanced Techniques

Smash the shuttle:

Smashing is when you hit the shuttle with all of your strength at the top of its arc. Aim your free hand up toward the direction of the shuttle for precision, and then swing the racket over your head with the other racket, hitting the center of the birdie and smashing it down into the opponent's court. This is similar to serving in tennis.

When you're smashing the shuttle, aim is just as important as strength. Don't just blindly hit the shuttle as hard as you can -- you should try to aim it either as far away from your opponent as possible or right at your opponent's body so he will be caught off guard.

Slice your drop shots - badminton tips,badminton training,badminton coaching

Master More Advanced Techniques

Slice your drop shots:

To do this, slice the racket, or move it perpendicularly over the center of the shuttle when it's in the air. This will make the shuttle lose much of its momentum and quickly fall on the opponent's side near the net.

Slice your net shots - badminton tips,badminton training,badminton coaching

Master More Advanced Techniques

Slice your net shots:

This will make the shuttle spin and fall in an unpredictable direction. To slice your net shot, start the forward motion as you normally would, and then move the racket inward as you slice the racket perpendicular to the center of the birdie. Your opponent will be expecting you to hit the birdie directly forward, while it will actually spin cross court.

Make your opponent play your style of game - badminton tips,badminton training,badminton coaching

Exploit Your Opponent's Weaknesses

Make your opponent play your style of game:

If you like staying near the net, serve short, hit drop shots, and do whatever you can to make sure that your opponent can't hit the shuttle to the back line. If you're more comfortable at the back line, then serve long and hit speedy long shots so your opponent doesn't have a chance to move you toward the net. Make the opponent lose all control as you play your style of game and maximize your strengths.

Don't smash the shuttle every time - badminton tips,badminton training,badminton coaching

Master More Advanced Techniques

Don't smash the shuttle every time:

The smash should be used at a time when the shuttle is high in the air and you have plenty of time to approach -- it should end the point in your favor. If you smash the shuttle at every opportunity, you will tire your arms and will risk smashing it into the net at inopportune moments.

Hit a drop shot followed by a shot to the back of the court - badminton tips,badminton training,badminton coaching

Exploit Your Opponent's Weaknesses

Hit a drop shot followed by a shot to the back of the court:

If you have mastered the drop shot, then use it to make your opponent run all the way to the front of the court. Then return the next shot all the way to the back of the court. Not only will this force your opponent to be quick on his feet, but it will also catch him off guard. This is also a great way to tire your opponent.

Change the direction of the shuttle - badminton tips,badminton training,badminton coaching

Exploit Your Opponent's Weaknesses

Change the direction of the shuttle:

If your opponent hits the shuttle straight at you, hit the shuttle in a different direction instead of hitting it right back at your opponent, where he will expect it to go. This will work especially well if the shuttle has generated a lot of momentum. If you're quick on your feet, you can change the direction of the shuttle and not give your opponent enough time to react to a fast-moving shuttle.

Hit a simple short shot - badminton tips,badminton training,badminton coaching

Exploit Your Opponent's Weaknesses

Hit a simple short shot:

When you're up at the net, simply hit the shuttle short, just barely over to your opponent's side. This will make your opponent run and will catch him off guard. This is a great technique if your opponent is positioned near the back line.

Label : badminton tips,badminton training,badminton coaching...

Shoot toward your opponent's backhand - badminton tips,badminton training,badminton coaching

Shoot toward your opponent's backhand:

Many players are weaker on the backhand side, so try shooting toward your opponent's backhand and see if this makes your opponent return less shots. If so, continue to exploit your opponent's backhand.

Understand your opponent's game - badminton tips,badminton training,badminton coaching

 Understand your opponent's game : 

When you're playing a new opponent, whether it's at a competition or during a friendly game at a family outing, you should asses your opponent's game even while you're warming up. You should look for a few main things: if your opponent is more of an aggressive or defensive player, if his forehand or backhand is his dominant shot, and any weaknesses, such as slow footwork or weak drop shot returns, that you can exploit.

Make your opponent move around the court - badminton tips,badminton training,badminton coaching

Make your opponent move around the court :  

Don't hit all of your shots to the same location of the court of your opponent will be able to predict your next move every time. Instead, mix things up by hitting a drop shot followed by a shot to the baseline, or by moving your opponent from the right to the left side of the court. Moving from the front to the back of the court is particularly tricky unless your opponent has very nimble feet.

Practice the long serve in singles - badminton tips,badminton training,badminton coaching

 Practice the long serve in singles:

 In singles, hitting a long serve all the way to the back of the service line will throw your opponent off guard. He may be standing in front of the shuttle and can miss it completely, or he may not have enough power to return it. To hit a longer serve, let the shuttle fall in front of you as you swing your racket further back almost to your shoulder level so you generate more momentum before you swing forward and hit the shuttle.

Labels : badminton tips,badminton training,badminton coaching

Practice your footwork - badminton tips,badminton training,badminton coaching

Practice your footwork:

Badminton is like tennis -- success is all in the footwork. If you're flat-footed on the court, you won't be able to return your shots. Instead, stay on your toes, move your feet up and down as you wait to return a shot, and move your feet back and forth and side to side in tiny motions to position yourself to return the shot. Don't be lazy and reach out your hand too wide to try to return the shuttle -- instead, make tiny movements with your feet until the shuttle is in perfect position.

Practice the short serve - badminton tips,badminton training,badminton coaching

Practice the short serve:

Whether you're playing singles or doubles, the short serve will catch your opponent off guard. He won't be expecting it, and may not be able to run up to return the serve in time. To hit the short serve, you shouldn't just hit the shuttle really lightly, or it will fall on your side of the court. Instead, hit it at a higher contact point and drop it closer to the racket instead of in front of the racket.

Always return to the middle of the court - badminton tips,badminton training,badminton coaching

Always return to the middle of the court:

Don't get out of position after you hit the shuttle. Return to the middle of the back of the court. This will make it more difficult for your opponent to run you around and to hit the shuttle in a place that you can't reach. Standing in the middle of the court while moving your feet and preparing for the next shot will place you in the "position of readiness.

Hit the shuttle toward the back line - badminton tips,badminton training,badminton coaching

Hit the shuttle toward the back line:

Hitting the shuttle toward the back line takes precision and strength, and it will make your opponent have to shuffle backwards and hit the shuttle with a considerable amount of strength to return your shot. If you're not sure where to hit the shuttle next, and the back line is wide open, aim it there. At the beginning, aim the shuttle a bit before the back line so you don't commit a fault if it falls out of bounds behind the back line.

Hit the shuttle at the top of its arc - badminton tips,badminton training,badminton coaching

Hit the shuttle at the top of its arc. 

To benefit from the speed and height generated by the shuttle, hit it at the top of its arc. This will allow you to shoot a killer overhead and to have more control over the position of the shuttle. Don't wait for the shuttle to come close to you, or it will be losing momentum and height.

Always hit the center of the shuttle - badminton tips,badminton training,badminton coaching

Always hit the center of the shuttle :

You should hit the round rubber center, or the "sweet spot" of the shuttle every single time. You can practice this technique by looking right at the center of the shuttle when you hit an overhead shot.

Badminton Tips and Tricks : Practice these below steps to improve your playing skills, Badminton Coaching,Badminton Practice,Badminton Tips and Tricks

Badminton Tips and Tricks :

Practice these below steps to improve your playing skills.

• Practice a lot, and you will get better.
• In doubles confuse your opponents by hitting the shuttle between them so they are not sure which of them should go for it.
• If your opponent tips it over the net and runs back, tip it over. It will be hard for him to reverse direction. If he doesn't run back, hit it as far as you can.
• Always try to make your opponents move around the court and they will tire.
• When your opponent hits a clear to you, move back quickly to get behind it. With the shuttle now in front of you, you'll have lots of good forehand shots available. You'll be able smash effectively because you can hit it downwards.
• Use efficient footwork. You should get to your shots in just one or two steps from a central base. Don't run about the court like a panicked chicken. "Sashay" to your shot, leading with your racquet foot.
• Try to be unpredictable. Vary with different strokes.
• Study your opponent's weaknesses. Is his backhand weak? Does he have difficulty returning smashes to the body, returning drops, moving backwards, etc? In doubles, is one player weaker than the other? Is one better at the net than the other?
• If playing doubles, when you serve, the server should go close to the net forcing your opponents to hit it long. Your partner, who is behind you can then return it easily.
• Teamwork is always needed in doubles. Try to attack at the empty place. Focus at the game.
• Communication is the key in doubles. Call for shots and tell your partner to 'leave' shots that are going out. Use visual communication, letting the player who cannot see his partner make the tactical decisions. For example, when you are in front of your partner, you decide which shots to take and where to move. Do it quickly, so your partner isn't left guessing.
• Always shuffle fast to the birdie, never run.
• Don't rely on your arm. Instead work your wrist to conserve your stamina. Good wrist play also required to practice more advanced shot techniques.
• Always call the score at every point because you never know when your opponent will try to mess it up just to win.
• Get more points so that you win.
• Aim for the four corners of the opposite side.
• Try not to jump up for a shot, most likely you'll stumble or not hit it the way you want to (unless you practice this a lot). Try to move backwards, or if playing doubles, trust your partner to get it. Only jump if you know you or your partner can't get it otherwise.
• Don't start play with more experienced players. Start with the beginners first, and then go to somebody better. You could get discouraged, but don't give up. Badminton is not as easy as it seems.
• Hit the birdie hard so that your opponent will miss and you will win.
• Try to play drop/net shots simultaneously in same direction and then as far as possible. This will make opponent tired and will panic to return the far shot which is unexpected to him.
• Don't just whack it back to your opponent. Try some 'drop' shots, especially if your opponent is far back.
• Remember that badminton is a game of honesty and you get to call the hits that land on your side.
• Practice against the wall. Try different strokes and returns.
• Disguise your shots. For example, if you are going to do a smash, maybe clear it or do a drop shot: this will catch them unaware, and you should win the point.
