How to Master the Cross Court Net Shot

[@wymanchin2144]

Since watching coach Tobias, I've been practicing and improving my game... Thanks coach! Looking forward to your other videos

[@tobiaswadenka8435]

Thank you for your kind words! Keep up the good work and all the best!

[@bryanchun5491]

Aloha Coach Tobias, awesome video. I like your key thought of guiding the racquet instead of hitting. I have found that so much of the touch shots executed in the area in front of and around the service line reqires this high sense of feel in the fingers. Repetition leads to mastery repeating the mantra, see shuttle, guide shuttle. Works for me. Thanks and take care.

[@ivsr2563]

Just perfect . Need a lot of practice for consistency in shots . Thank you Tobias !!

Always good to see your tutorials on techniques and enjoy the clear explanation. I am an intermediate level, and play socially competitive matches every week - mostly doubles. I think I want to learn more about where (middle, side, back, front) and how (drop, drive, lift) hit back from different positions, especially when under pressure. It is a tactical question that I’d love to see. Happy to clarify if needed.

[@crazycuber5427]

Awesome video Tobias It's been long since you uploaded a video and it's good to see that ur back! Also a small question Which racket do you think is head heavy, not too head heavy and is also lightweight? Astrox 100zz, Astrox 99, Astrox 88d or do you recommend any racket? I play singles and like attacking a lot. Intermediate club player Also which string do you recommend overall, nbg 95 or bg 65 ti or bg 65? Also love your YT channel

[@tobiaswadenka8435]

Thank you. Yeah I am struggling with an injury and with the lockdown here so not so easy to make any new videos but now I try to get back on track ;) From the rackets you named I tried the 100zz and the 88d. The 100 is great to attack but I had the feeling that my swing of the racket got quite long with it. The 88d is a little bit more balanced. I liked them both but in the end i sticked with my ArcSaber 11. With stringing I can really recommend to try out the Aerobite, I use it at the moment and absolutly love it!

Thanks for another excellent tutorial. Are you landing your racket foot as you hit the cross net shot?

You can land at the same time but you can also land earlier, if you want to add a little more deception to your cross net shot

[@chrisshyi8999]

very helpful video, thanks coach!

[@rb-ex]

hey tobias, good to see another video from you. i see this type of shot (勾球）made several ways, but the technique you teach is exactly as i was taught by my main chinese coach a point about tactics in singles vs. doubles: in singles play this shot is required in the repertoire, since to play effectively you should ideally be able to hit any of the 4 corners in any reply. however, i do not find this shot useful in doubles, since you will have an opponent covering the net, and a good net player should be able to anticipate and kill most of these as they cross the net, or at least make a tight net reply at the other end of the net. in club play i see many players attempting this shot in doubles because they think it is cool or impressive, but they are almost always relying on a weak or sleepy opponent at the net to get the shot through. for doubles players, it is probably better to practice straightforward net shots and try to get them as tight as possible. that way you can play the net even when it is well-guarded and force the lift for example, in the clip you played with lcw getting the shot in against peter gade, although lcw's shot is of exceptional quality, in doubles play it could still be effectively countered by a skilled net player as it crosses the net. peter gade cannot reach it because he needs to cover the whole court and cannot guard the net like you can in doubles. for lcw's shot to be safe from a net counter in doubles, it would have to be even better quality than that. i have seen such shots but they are rare and unreliable. that is why you can watch 10 doubles matches with top players without seeing a cross net

[@tobiaswadenka8435]

Yes you are totally right, in most situations that shot will loose you the ralley in doubles or at least bring you into a very difficult situation!

@@divyanshkalani8553 Ah ok. The schedule depends on many factors and a training week can change a lot thorughout the year, for example if you are in a competition phase with a lot of tournaments there will be a lot of on court training with high intesity but a lot less workload in terms of strength and conditioning. In the preperation phase it is the other way round so more focus and load on strength and conditioning maybe with some running sessions outside as well

[@nihalsameer6417]

Hey Tobias I am a singles player, between beginner and intermediate I know all the basics and my footwork is also pretty fine. I am also pretty good at generating power I trust you with helping me with my racket selection. I thought I wanted a head-heavy racket but when I watched the nanoflare 800 and 800 LT video I thought why not take that. Actually, I am in a dilemma right now, I love attacking in singles but I hate too head heavy rackets like the Voltric z force 2, and the nanoflare 800 is quick and also good for generating power . I was wondering which racket should I get. I don't want to go for the very high-level rackets (in the head heavy section) like the astrox 100zz or astrox 99 or the astrox 88d/s. I would consider a mid-range racket So here are my criteria's, I want a racket that is good at generating power and also is pretty lightweight, I dont generally prefer rackets that are too bad for power and we need to add power on our own (head light rackets) but the nanoflare 800 caught my eye. If you have any suggestions or any comments pls do get back to me.

[@tobiaswadenka8435]

I love the ArcSaber 11 for exactly the reasons you named (powerful but not too head heavy). Have you tried it already? I also tried the NF800 and liked it a lot, defintly a good one as well!

[@nihalsameer6417]

@@tobiaswadenka8435 Yes I tried the Arcsaber 11, liked it but I also tried the Astrox 77, I figured out that the Arcaber 11 is kinda powerful but with the Astrox 77 I get more power and also lots of control.

What if the shuttle is arriving at the middle of the net and you want to do a cross net? Is the technique still the same?

[@jerrywi6172]

Hi Tobias.. any tips about how to net cross shots, if the shuttle is already near the floor? or in the middle (height) of the net? thx in advance.

[@tobiaswadenka8435]

Like you can see in the clip with Lee Chong Wei, you most likely need some wrist movement from a lower position to make it go over

Try to do them with bending the legs during each rep, that makes it a lot easier. You will probably see that after a few weeks you will be able to do it with stretched legs as well.

It is a fault if you touch the shuttle, no matter where you stand

[@kunanonrojratanachai9820]

Hello, I am wondering what is your string tension, if I'm not wrong that's an arcsaber 11 which only hold 24 lbs. Since you are pro player, do you just exceed 24 lbs on arcsaber11?

Toby, how can we muster the confidence of varying shots in the court? Sometimes, esp. when the scores are tight, we tend to play it safe. 😭

A big question and I fear no easy answer to it, as psychology is very complex and everybody is different. Have you checked my video on mental toughness in badminton already? kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4TYenl5ndt7ars Mayber that can already give you a few ideas on the topic

How to do cross movement to respond for cross drop?

[@tobiaswadenka8435]

The movement is the same as i describe it in the video

[@denzelnolet]

Kind of a random question, but how do you respond quicker to deception? Is it all about better footwork?

[@tobiaswadenka8435]

No it is also a lot about perception and cognition. Experienced players are good at reading movements and they also have a higher chance of seeing deceptions earlier than others. I also cover that a little bit in this video in the end: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIXMZ2iXmJh8nMU
