HOW TO COUNTER BODY SHOTS IN BADMINTON- Defend yourself against smashes to the body

Do you get frustrated when your opponent in badminton hits the shuttle to your body and you never know how to return it? It’s a challenging situation and in this video, I’ll be showing you how you can defend yourself against those tricky body-shots.
Developing as a badminton player means you master your offense by working on different strokes. But equally important is learning the right defense. Body shots in particular are quite difficult to defend against, but you can certainly learn how to handle them.

Fabulous defence there from your students on those drills coach Kennie. The speed is very impressive. I guess these are the best drills to speed up your reactions for the body shots👌

[@wilsonsebastian9526]

Hello Kennie, thanks for the video. Can I know which is the best badminton bat for best performance ?

[@CoachKennieAsuncion]

Rackets are personal preference. I like mine light. Many others like it head heavy as it helps strengthen smashes & attacking shots😁🏸

[@1Flyingfist]

Astrox 88 D pro 😜 Very very good racket and very easy to use, if you like to play at the back. 👌 I don't use it, but I had a demo racket for a bit. Expensive, but there are cheaper versions. The Pro is the most expensive. Can't remember the others.

[@garathi2]

Dear coach can u pls give advice on how to receive smash when at net in front court? Thank you.

[@CoachKennieAsuncion]

You cannot be positioned in front for a smash, you have to move back to at least the mid court to be able to return smashes😁🏸

[@garathi2]

Thank you coach. Love your lessons 😇

[@aniljain2495]

Please also teach counter attacking

Should we play with a racket which is heavy or light, which one do you recommend to hit smashes

Head heavy helps in smashes but i personally prefer a light weight rackets😁🏸 It’s really personal preference

Thanks a lot for your guidance, I will surely take a light weight racket. Any brand in particular coz I am using Yonex racket it’s a bit heavy

You have to keep practicing your footwork until you dont have to think about it and at the same time play with more players for variety in speed … 😁🏸

[@jonathantocol01]

What if the player is powerful smash🏸 you need a lower 🏸 to hit the shuttlecock coach kennie🤔🤔

[@CoachKennieAsuncion]

You avoid allowing your opponent to smash but since you will need to lift to have variety in your game, you can anticipate where the smash will be to better defend it😁🏸
