Top 5 Badminton Strategies ANY BEGINNER Should START Doing

[@helenmayor7109]

These advice apply to all levels not just beginners.

[@Basicfeather]

Agree, some more than others!

I'm a volleyball player in my old school, my friend introduced me to badminton and after a month of playing I tried out in my new school where the only skill that I'm good at is smashing (I learned how to jump smash due to its similarity to spiking in volleyball). I unexpectedly got in, I'm gonna play my first match tomorrow without knowing how to do proper footwork and Basic badminton strategies lol. Wish me luck, this is helpful! I'll update tomorrow how it went out lol.

So what happened??

[@Noneofeveryonesbussiness]

​@@Cap-co7bm I forgot to reply, too many school works. Anyway, I didn't win the match, it was a close match though (16-21 and 15-21, if I'm not mistaken). This video really helped me a lot, and now as I continue playing badminton at my school, I now have footwork (not perfect though, still need more improvements) and I noticed that the strategies that he gave in this video is still helpful.

@@Noneofeveryonesbussiness ooh that's very impressive knowing you didn't even know proper footwork, good work!!!

I would consider myself not as a beginner but would 100% agree this strategies are very important - also for higher levels player. In addition to that I would add two more: 1) Playing multiple times in the same corner in order to aim for fatigue of the opponent 2) Playing againt the running direction of the opponent (a bit more advanced strategy)

[@Basicfeather]

100 % agree, great advice you're giving here

[@usernameless1131]

Hey could you elaborate on the second one please?

[@Kdotkage]

@@usernameless1131 basically if the opponent just hit a slice his momentum is moving forward since he expects a net shot, so you hit it to the back again. another example is if your opponent hits a clear from the forehand corner and he moves back to the middle very fast, you can hit another shot to his forehand corner since his momentum is shifted.

@@Kdotkage ohh that makes a ton of sense. Thanks!

Focus on the length is not the most underrated but its the hardest to execute. Great great video as always

[@Basicfeather]

Absolutely right! As mentioned in the video, this includes top players as well!

[@riteshsaini01]

they're all good points but even as singles advice i would expand a little on the first point of hitting to your opponent's backhand. neither beginner nor intermediate players should be attempting to return high shuttles to their backhand side with a backhand stroke. they should instead do the footwork to turn their bodies deep into their backhand corner and use a forehand or over-the-head stroke. it is usually worse than a waste of time for beginners or intermediate players to give any focus whatsoever on the high backhand stroke. and in men's doubles at the advanced level, playing a high ball to your opponent's backhand can be dangerous, because your doubles opponent will not attempt to return your shot with his backhand. he will turn his body and mount an all-out attack, and advanced players often get an extra stretch or pre-loading from turning into their backhand corner, and this can result in extra velocity in their attack i would also mention a couple things about length. first, when you are playing anyone strong and skilled, past the doubles service line is not good enough... it needs to be very close to the back line. this is something that takes a lot of practice. beginner and intermediate players are often impatient with this type of practice, even though the beginner cannot clear the shuttle and intermediate players are inconsistent about it. in addition, the clear is essential to singles tactics and in all disciplines the technique is essential to smash, drop, recovery, and overall flow of energy, and this is true even though in men's doubles we would rarely clear. for this reason warm-ups should usually begin with roughly 100 high clears, and, when landing close to the line, players should communicate to each other when shots are in or out. with a coach, practicing clears should continue to the point of exhaustion. also, width is important whether you are playing straight or cross completely agree with your cautions about playing cross, and your 70-30 guideline makes sense. but when you do play cross, it needs to be tucked neatly into the far corner, and that means you need extra length, so practice that too

[@rhalaal]

Same thing for doubles please!

[@Basicfeather]

Definitely noted! :)

[@pankaj007das]

perfect video..just lower the music a bit so that your voice comes out clearly. Awesome you are.

[@Basicfeather]

That is noted!! :)
