[@BadmintonInsight]

[@miguelv2985]

Thank you Greg and Jenny, I still suffer from this smash inconsistencies where I don't completely switch my leg similar to Darren and I lose power/explosiveness which makes it easier for my opponent to defend. You guys brought up a good point to just consider hopping on a leg when smashing rather than jump smashing to get more consistency.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Glad we could help 🙏🏼

[@ari-athbadminton0301]

I decided to do film analysis on my own smash and backhand techniques, having the habit to watch the pros made mistakes spotting so mistakes obvious. What is the most difficult I found was to UNLEARN the bad habits as they kept coming back but eventually things started to change with the help of corrective home exercises and match implementation. Thanks you so much for commenting on the fan club footage. It's nice to see everyone bringing their techniques to observe the variety of the problems and good points.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Yes that's definitely one of the most difficult things - technique becomes engrained in your muscle memory, so it's difficult to unlearn... Keep it up and you'll get there 💪 And thanks for the support!

[@UrlOn2Wheels]

Okay that was a clean catch 4:27 One thing I learned is to film yourself and watch it after the match. Couple of times I cringed how my body moves before, during, and after a smash so I try to correct it at home at practice and implement it on court. Great advice!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Haha, yep - Greg should take up cricket too 🤪

[@zekken_aep]

Could we have a more in depth video of pronation in forehand strokes? We've all been taught about the basic swing/stroke and proper grippings in most forehand shots such as smashes, clears or drop shots. But never been told what and how pronation works. I've always done my shot preparation/strokings properly but never noticed of having my forearm rotate or twist while I swing, now that I try to implement pronation in my forehand shots I'll always end up slicing the shuttle, almost having the same result as reverse slicing the shuttle as the strings face the opposite way.

[@Elitegamer01_]

Just finished training, this is the perfect vid to watch after lamenting why my smashes are either weak or too low

[@troll3497]

good tutorial!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks!

[@LoveWithAdrish]

Can you make a similar video for clear common mistakes? I struggle with hitting clears(round the head) when I am under pressure or taking it behind my body. This video was really helpful :)

[@stevemawer848]

Great tips, as usual! And so well explained and demonstrated. When you're changing something, mistiming the shuttle is actually a good thing as it shows you're doing it differently! BTW, heard you both commenting in Indonesia - great insights and really added value to the matches. One nit, though, please don't refer to games as "sets" - they're for tennis and badger homes!

[@Rkilats]

Do you have any tips on how to keep your grip lose? Ive noticed everytime I smash I hold my grip very tighly what should I do to keep my grip lose do you have any tips and training exercises for this?
