Learn The 5 Different Types Of Smash In Badminton

As a right handed person, I love the fact you inverse the image when it’s possible, it’s easier to understand 😏

[@BadmintonInsight]

Yay, glad you find it helpful 😊👍🏼

[@WhyAmersNeedThis]

Same with me! Hahahahahah😂

[@sabyasachidas7058]

As a left handed person I don't coz every youtuber out there is right handed and it's tough to find someone from the left hander's perspective. :p (Joking, doesn't matter to me 😂😂😂😂)

[@plsgostudy]

​@@sabyasachidas7058 Yes bro it doesn't matter as a right handed person the hitbox(your hand movement) is way more required

[@KityareachKoy]

I actually thought they were none dominant

[@mystplayss]

The expression that Greg made while facing the jump smash(03:48) is hilarious😂😂. You guys make these videos funny, interesting and useful at the same time. Thank you for making these videos!!

[@tr0lliee]

Hey, Greg and Jenny, i just wanted to say thanks for those tutorials, i have a tournament at my school and i hoping to win it just by watching you amazing "tutorials" i started playing badminton 2 years ago and you guys really help me learn the basics and the step by steps of it. 💥 Because of you guys i was able to " self teach " myself badminton. 💌

did u win

[@tr0lliee]

@@thecoolman555 sadly i broke my wrist but i did win the local junior tourna, and im trying to improve oin my smashes i guess

[@rb-ex]

it's a good rundown. i would also include the chinese jump smash. it's neither a stick smash nor a jump-out smash because your body is turned in preparation but you don't rotate your hips. we saw this one a lot from lin dan and also LCW, and it is used by a lot of players now. also any of these smashes may include some degree of forward or reverse slice, and of course power variations. the trick is to not only master it all technically, which takes a lot of work, but also to develop awareness and tactical skill so you intuitively know how to craft your attack for the situation, which takes even more work

[@longdang3379]

isnt that just the jump out smash that they demonstrated in #4

[@rb-ex]

​@@longdang3379 no. jump out your hips are square to the net. chinese jump your hips are 45-90 degrees from the net and you stay that way when you land, chasee back to base. look it up

[@BadmintonInsight]

Yes it is the jump smash (number 4 in the video) 😁 - we refer to it as the jump smash, but many also call it the 'China Jump'.

[@rb-ex]

@@BadmintonInsight no. in the regular (in china sometimes called the malaysian) jump smash you rotate your hips and change your feet. with china jump you dont rotate hips and dont change your feet. the mechanics are completely different

[@rb-ex]

@@BadmintonInsight examples: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5exiGuOh9emaMk maylasian jump loh ky 49:44 china jump ginting 52.59 many more examples in this match and pretty much any singles match at this level

Hello Greg & Jen, Thanks for this video it has really helped me a lot. If i may ask, I have a question about recovery from injury. I have injure my lower back (piriformis muscle which is affecting sciatica nerve) . I have been in this pain for months , I have been in limited movements due to this injury. Have you or any other athletes had this issue due to overstretching while hitting a smash or taking a hit by stretching yourself to an arching lower back position to the back of the court? have you had a similar injury and what therapy worked best for you? I will appreciate it if you could share some light on this topic.

[@TekkaiJon]

Hello, I noticed you didn’t include the point that the jump smash can generate more power than a standard smash. If you jump slightly forward instead of 100% upwards. You will be able to generate more power from the jump smash. Let me know what you think.

[@BadmintonInsight]

It definitely can generate more power yes, but we tried to limit each smash to just 2-3 key tips... If we included everything (technique & tactics) about each smash then the video would have been about 2 hours long 🤣

[@rating0zero_710]

Love the vids

[@endless-3161]

Hi Greg and Jenny! Just a question, When you do a jump smash, is it important to raise your non racket hand in the air and the legs be bent like a 90degree angle?

[@BadmintonInsight]

Non-racket hand up = yes definitely! This helps your timing, balance and rotation. For the legs to be bent to a 90 degree, no this isn’t important! But some players do it when they get a loooot of height on their jump and it helps them to really stretch out their chest!

Hey badminton insight, can i ask when doing a jump out smash, would it be better to try to smash normally or do a stick smash ?

What about Lee Zii Jia smash please also make a tutorial on it

[@KeithHiew]

Hitting a smash is also a bit like throwing a punch from another perspective. When you are getting ready to punch, you keep your hands relaxed and loose and only clench your fist ideally at the moment of impact. Likewise, you should tighten your fingers around the racquet only at the moment it hits the shuttle or just before.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Exactly right 😃👏🏼

[@streetninja23]

How would I know if my smash is powerful? What should I focus on ? The feel, the sound, the inability of my opponents to intercept with their racquet ??

[@zzzkyosuke]

You will know it when you have a good rotation on your body you feel it in your core like you feel a hard something in your body

[@ovtroll1199]

you would know if you hit a clean powerful smash, the feeling even for pros and us club players would recognise immediately if its a clean powerful smash. you should focus on timing of your smash more than adding strength. i think the misconception of just swing faster or get bigger muscle is the way to power, although yes it does affect it but timing is by far more important, from my experience even timing any shot from the back of the court creates more power and in some cases accuracy. if you hit a powerful smash and a person was able to return it then im sure 99% of the time they didnt realise they returned it. i used to hit slice smashes a couple years ago without realising but that was due to me being a little ignorant with my positioning so i end up slicing a smash unconsciously than put in a powerful smash

[@streetninja23]

@@ovtroll1199 My smashes are pretty standard. Nothing extraordinary nor weak/flat. But sometimes it goes like a rocket @ such an angle which surprises both the opponent & myself if it travelled through the net ‼️ And I really don't know how to replicate the same.. because there was nothing special about it till the moment it left my racquet.
