Mastering Badminton Singles - The Split Step Footwork - Coach Kowi Chandra (Subtitle Indonesia)

[@lohxinkai3427]

Footwork isn’t something you can watch a video and instantly become the next momota or Axelsen. In singles, the frontcourt is more deadly than the backcourt. A well delivered drop shot, net shot, drive and clear are more effective and deadly than a smash. A clear to the backhand corner, a perfect drop shot to the front court and a perfect net play are the main weapon in singles. You need to be prepared for all kind of shot. If you are not prepared, don’t talk about footwork. You won’t even be able to react in time. A well delivered counter to a smash can be just as lethal as the smash itself. My coach always say to me....you need to be prepare for all kind of return the moment you hit the shuttlecock to the opponent side. If you do a lift, be prepared for a drop, clear and smash to any corners. If you are not prepared, you can forget the footwork. In conclusion, the best footwork for single is practice, practice and practice.

While playing Front Court Backhand, why every top Olympic player initiate push with non-racket leg instead of racket leg. Whereas in training it is taught otherwise. Is it more efficient or it's pressure of game?

[@Guanabana51]

[@nevr9199]

One question. What is the exact time to do split step? Is it just before the opponent hit the shuttle or just after?

[@rarash9077]

It must be within in or around your opponent hitting the shuttle.

[@kowichandra3546]

The best way to do split step is right after / almost at the same time the opponent hit the shuttle, not before the opponent hit. You can intercept or guess, but you still have to wait until you know exactly the shuttle is coming. But the split step should happen in the split second/ almost at the same time after your opponent hit the shuttle. You can improve your split step by just practice the footwork. You can also use apps from your phone to practice your footwork. Hope this help. thank you.

[@nevr9199]
