    Great insight into the theory of the initial part of smash power. I’m looking forward to seeing the next video on how the range of motion interacts with technique and most importantly timing to generate the power everyone seeks 💪
  • @JMRichard92
    An interesting take on stretching for more range of motion, and therefore power! Usually, in the exercice world, both those concepts are opposed. I'll certainly try that!

    At the stage of newbie I can see that my friend who have flexibility on shoulder, more ROM tend to smash better Holding hand behind the back with shoulder curve in is the easiest example of great shoulder mobility

    much of what i see and hear said about smash these days seems part of a viral pandemic of wrong teaching, but i think you guys are right on the money re mechanics and offer good suggestions to prepare the body. especially valuable mechanical points are 1) giving your racket head the time and distance to generate velocity, and 2) isolating the hips from the upper body so that there are 2 stages of developing kinetic energy, a slightly slower and deeply muscular lower stage starting with the legs, and a higher much less muscular and explosively accelerating stage in the upper body i also agree if you try to describe too many elements of smash the lesson falls apart. smash in badminton is nothing less than a fine kinetic art, and truth is, no matter how good your coach you find the keys on your own

    PLease explain pronation in a dedicated video and why in the professional bwf smashes slow motions the rackets gets fully turned in opposite direction but the shuttle goes straight is it because of pronation?
  • @zmollon
    Great tips as always especially since most videos don't cover stretches and exercises that help with your smash. When smashing from the floor should the front leg come off the floor before the body rotation as you hop between one foot to the other?

    stretching video disguised as a badminton tutorial 😅 ofc flexibility is important but 1:42 saying its not about physical strength is a huge understatemen
  • @i2Sekc4U
    I think if you guys could focus on perfecting the swing, it would be super helpful. A lot of newer players don’t have a good swing or even know where to start 😊

    Love the stretching exercises to improve the range of motion - more please!

    Does higher string tension give more power in smash?
  • @epicnagger2216
    Eh I’ve heard either side of the coin for whether or not a jump adds power. My theory is that it does because you’re adding the gravity of your falling body into it as well. And the new Guinness record for fastest smash was a jump one if I recall correctly
  • @gerryandrews5935
    Interesting that you don't say much about hips and legs? Much of our power is also generated by the rotation through our back, hips and from our legs and the combination of the total movement and the transfer of that kinetic energy into the shuttle. And how does this translate into if and how jumping adds power. Your thoughts, guys?
