[@chiale1992]

This video boosted my smash atleast 30% or more.. many tutorial videos emphasize on the shoulder and elbow rotation but I always felt that if I focus on hand, the power I use is not equal to the speed of the smash like I use 100% strength but the smash speed is only 60%. Until I watched this video.. you teach the opposite way which is not focus on rotation of elbow but focus on hips and waist rotation.. thanks the coach to explaining where the power should be generated from and now my smash is really satisfying.. the speed is equal to the power I use... Thanks alot... This is the best and most useful smash tutorial.. hope to see a tutorial of jump smash!

It is great to be a good badminton player but even greater to be a kind human being. I believe you are both. More power to you Viktor! Thank you for these tutorials...

[@maruduvel]

Great tutorial Victor! The fact that power comes from the body and not only from raising elbow during a smash is a good one to learn for beginners.

[@djhmax09]

Didn't know about the elbow needing to be relatively high. Learned something new! Thank you

[@govindsodani2439]

I have been playing badminton for 40 yrs now, but learned something new from you today. Thanks for making time for us.

[@tippitytop]

Thank you for that Viktor Axelsen. I just started playing badminton at 24, instantly fell in love with the sport from the time I stepped foot on the wooden court. My smash mechanics were really off as I switched from playing volleyball and my smash was mimicking my spiking motion with the elbow stretched high for the whipping motion. But now I know what I was doing wrong.

[@bhaskarramakrishna794]

I like your videos so much because your videos are short and on to the point directly. There is no unwanted explanation in the videos. So nice of you. Thank you so much for your content.❤️Love from INDIA 🇮🇳

[@muhammadiqbalbusra4927]

Yes, this what I want. The advantage of a tall body could do the smash without jumping and also generates power optimally. Good Job, VA!

[@kayceemeiching]

I just picked up badminton again, after almost 5-6 years of not playing, and want to improve on my techniques. Honestly, i feel like I've stumbled across gold watching this - i mean it's Viktor Axelson!!!

Love it, different from the other smash tutorials out there where they go step by step in slow-mo, this one is straight to the point with the core concept of generating good power correctly.

[@archak737]

Hey Viktor thanks for clarifying body movement basics for smash. It will be really really useful if you could share 1. How to practice for it? 2. Exercises to improve smash power. Like would you recommend a specific hip movement/core exercise to improve rotational power from the hip-core movement?

[@andiakmar1749]

Great tutorial, I love it! The tips on the power generation from the hips and wrist especially, is a very helpful confirmation!

Thank you for the lesson. It is always amazing to listen to your class and a big note of encouragement at the end. I have been really struggling with the power smash. I use to get confuse with pronation and wrist usage in actual match. I have never been to professional class. KZbin has been my teacher. So would be really grateful for a tip on pronation and wrist problem and help to generate more power in smash

Great video 😊 I tend to use too much of my shoulder and elbow The movement of the hip to chest to finger power is really I need to work on....like a bow 👍 Also, you didn't state the obvious " the contact point (i.e. front of the body)" Could you please make a video on the following: 1) how to recover from the corners 2) how to recover after overhead smash

[@IzzyLi1988]

Great video - noticed a big improvement in my game. Helped with timing too as to wait and tense yourself (Hodor for a bit) and then release...somehow ties in to easier pronation too! Thank youuuu!

[@martincerven]

So you think core and hip rotation is more important than pronation of the arm? Thanks for the tips! Also, could you make videos on badminton singles tactics? How to approach different playing styles like SYQ&Ginting (attacking), Momota (patience) or Chen Long(defence)?

[@JacobsBadminton]

I don't think one is more important than the other. It's about using all the muscles in the kinetic change working together in sync at the right time. You can see how eas he makes it look to hit it that hard, scary right?

[@martincerven]

@@JacobsBadminton Did you mean chain? Well he has been training since he was a kid, every pro has an effortless smash, but some pronounce pronation more and Viktor is doing more of a compact smashing with core and hips.

[@dsmit2979]

Thanks Victor, I had a good smash when I was younger, and shorter of course. I stopped playing for about 10 years and when I returned, I just could not generate the same amount of power I did when I was young. I am only 44 now, but I have started to work hard on my smashes and it has slowly started to come right as my condition improved. I will surely give this a try as one aspect I have picked up is that I tend to dip down just as I hit the shuttle. Now if I don't do that, then the power is there, so now I will focus on keeping my elbow high and turn my body a bit more, and then do a slight leap as I hit. Will reply tomorrow.

Remember this. I have seen so many player and people tell me, I want badminton rackets that can smash very powerful. I want power in my shots. Just to let you know, badminton isn’t all about smashing. Your footwork, technique, skill, experience, control and most importantly focus is even more important. The more power there is behind your smash, the easier it is for your opponent to counter your smash as a good player knows how to ‘borrow’ the strength in your smash. I am from Malaysia and many top state players don’t even use high end racket.
