3 TIPS for POWERFUL SMASHES - EPISODE#36

[@SwiftBadminton]

Great video once again! Much better for beginner/intermediate players to be focusing on the basics instead of trying fancy jump smashes

[@BadmintonFamly]

We cannot run before we can walk, right Jonathan? 😉👌

'Fancy' is not the right adjective I believe. But otherwise yes... Basics gotta be the first priority.

No pronation ?

Yes, pronation

Great information in the description. kinetic link: your legs rotate then stop, then your hips rotate and stop, then you upper body. until finally your forearm and racquet finishes the motion like the cracking of a whip 🙏

[@Mightylordx]

Thanks a lot for making this video, I can tell you that since this April 2018 I've made a lot of improvement, started just hoping to hit the shuttle but now I hope to start to play in leagues. Although this isn't going to happen until next spring/summer time, I'm sure your videos will always hlep me improve on something. Keep up the good work :)

[@BadmintonFamly]

I'm glad to hear that 😁 then my job is done. I would actually rather hear what you wanna see and what I can do better

[@Mightylordx]

Badminton System in that case I would either say a flick serve or how to cover the court in doubles.

Going to try and incorporate this into my next game tomorrow haha! Awesome video, I would like to see more analysis of Professional Players if you liked doing those, it gives a whole new perspective on strategy and why they do what they do.

[@BadmintonFamly]

I would like to but maybe I need to make a video about what we actually can learn by watching them. The strategy is interesting though it is not applicable for the recreational player

[@sahilmalhotra01]

Why you are standing close to front line? Please stand close to third line and then make a video for fast smashes. Thanks

[@BadmintonFamly]

The exercise is doing a lot of smash movements in a short period of time. You could stand of the beach doing it and the 3 tips would be exactly the same 🙏

[@nitinperi134]

Thats true, angle of smash will differ at as u go back, that is practical situation for the smash that utilizes proper foot work and hip movement, the video which you showed for smash is no use.

[@babywattscycling]

Hello, thanks for awesome tips :) Do you think its necessary to specifically train the muscles involved in pronation of your arm for more power in your smash? E.g., pronator teres and pronator quadratus or will these muscles naturally get stronger as i play? (I picked up badminton 2 years ago im 26)

[@BadmintonFamly]

For long term physical health, it seems like keeping our small muscles strong when they are used together with larger muscle groups such as rotator cuff. I don't think it is necessary to train the muscles involved in pronation of the forearm but definitely more beneficial

[@Thunderhollow_12]

Thankx it helped me win a singles match

[@shivika251]

That's so cool!!! Can you make a video on footwork of smashes??

[@syafiqhanif9061]

Your technique is very good and its very similar with how professional players do it, can you show how the smash grip should be?

[@BadmintonFamly]

Thanks... the grip should be a normal forehand grip, or slightly to the hammer grip but nok to much. You should still be able to rotate fully in your forearm👍🏻

hey ! great vid once again, can you explain in more detail why we should fast exhale and hold our breath when we hit? thx for the great content :)

Same as when we want fast force output when in lifting something heavy. We exhale for more force and hold the breath for stability in body and core

Hey there, what is your badminton's tension? does smash work with a middle tension badminton racket ?

[@BadmintonFamly]

If your timing is good you can go for higher tension as the sweet spot gets smaller. Middle tension is perfectly fine

Good music and the best tutorial

[@maryb.]

Could you please make video about where should racket face (in the initial phase of smash/clear? I mean, it is a mistake when racket head is rotated to the right, it should be pointed to the net/oponent ?

[@BadmintonFamly]

Depends on your shoulder mobility and in case of having an extended wrist and neutral wrist, I am still figuring out all the benefits and downsides to both. But from what I can understand a extended wrist would ulitize the flexion of the wrist more whereas the neutral wrist would utilize the forearm pronation more. Men tends to have neutral wrist and also flexion in the wrist gives significant less power than forearm pronation. We can do both but not to the same extend for both. In terms of which way the racket head face I would have it face more towards the side with neutral wrist and shoulder retracted as much as possible meaning opening up the chest. Probably would do a high detailed analysis on this in the future 🙏

[@maryb.]

@@BadmintonFamly Thank you for answer...video about this would be great:)

[@ttakashii8273]

everytime I smash I hold the racket somehow to the side ways and it doesn’t seems to be powerful do I hold the racket upright?

[@BadmintonFamly]

You need to hit the shuttle as High as possible to generate more power as your swing then becomes bigger with more speed in the smash, good luck generating some good power smashes ;-) also use a power trainer (heavy racket) to strengthen your muscles. Regards Thomas

[@ttakashii8273]

Badminton Famly oh I see!thank you!

[@qeeloo9339]

My wrist would hurt everytime i attempt this and it always goes high instead of a steep drop like you do. Any thought on how to improve this by myself without a training partner?

[@BadmintonFamly]

Don't flex the wrist, use forearm rotation instead. You could use a wall or train your fitness. Our body must be tuned to better move around and learn

[@qeeloo9339]

@@BadmintonFamly thank you so much coach. Will try to put your advice to use.

[@zaynashraff1908]

​@@qeeloo9339​, I personally vouch for the advice Rasmuss just gave you, I was using sooooo much arm swing to generate power in my smashes; only result was - waste of energy, landed out and non-steep trajectory of the birdie. THE MOMENT, i used forearm pronation instead of swining my arm like a wannabe, everything changed and power and steepness came like 2nd nature; granted it will take time to fully develop with accuracy but give it a shot, it truly is the key; NO WRIST FLEX, WRIST PRONATION INSTEAD.

I'll be honest I'm only just slightly above 5 feet. So literally the net seems so much higher for me to do that effectively. I can do it, but with high efficiency. Not so much. Suggestion?

[@streetninja23]

Do you release breath simultaneously with the smash or afterwards ? Same during a jump smash ? I usually keep holding my breath from the moment I jump up till after i have hit the shuttle. I wonder if I can get more power with changing the breathing pattern. My smashes are quite powerful for the record. Cheers.

[@zaynashraff1908]

I mean you do hear loud thuds of breath releasing sounds from Pro players thundering it from a height to the ground. So, do some trial and error and check it out lemme know G

[@namanlucifer7271]

can u post a video for net shots from backcourt

[@BadmintonFamly]

Drop shots. Sure

[@qwertyki9367]

do i have to keep my racket up high? or can i keep it a little bit low

[@BadmintonFamly]

You don't have to keep it high but keeping it high is a good habit for consistency and power. Also as we improve we want a smaller swing so our opponent cannot read our shots. Keeping racket low will change the pace of your swing up until the impact with the shuttle. Opponent will pick up on that

[@qwertyki9367]

Badminton System Oh and one last question why do i keep missing the shuttle cock when going for a smash or clear i either hit too early or too late

[@BadmintonFamly]

Don't try and hit it with power. Just and hit it 10/10 then hit harder and so on

[@Desumidificador123]

apart from the usefull tip Badminton Family gave you, the best way to improve striking consistency is to practice a lot and very hard. in my case, seeing improvement, such as hitting good backhand clears is really motivating and rewarding.

[@huaxzhang]

There's no mention of pronation and timing of wrist/fingers. Are these important? What are the top 3 sources of power, ordered in 1-3, with 1 being the most important one?

[@BadmintonFamly]

Yes, they are very important. I would say rotation in the forearm (together with rotation in the shoulder = throwing motion) then the rotation of the upper body and then fingers. All this implies timing as well. I went for the tips people would most likely not have heard about. Rasmus
