Lesson 4: Smash

oh i shee so ur a racquet manaufacture?

yonex site? nope its general for all racquet manufactures and all racquet brands they all use that technology for those reasons of enlarging the hitting area.

i believe u got that info from yonex site?

yup thats what there designed for larger sweet spot as oppised to an oval racquet which has a smaller sweet spot.

and it works better with isometric racquets

the same grip thats used for a clear or drop, your basic forehand grip. so basically put the racquet in your non racquet hand and hold it so if you look down from the top you cant see the strings. next take you racquet hand and shake hands with the grip you should have a V that points to your opposite shoulder thats forehand grip and the grip that you use when you smash.

one question.what for a grip u use to smash?im usin this V grip now whereas u put ur thumb at the grip for more control.i know u use it for clears but is it the same for smashs.hoping for an answer.

when you hit a shot thats not off the center of your racquet you wont be able to get the same force put into it due to the fact of where its hit. the center of the racquet bed is the ideal place for hitting all your shots. if you hitt a shot off center and then in center you will notice a difference for sure its has to do with the string tension and all that being just right in the center of the racquet bed etx stuff like that.

i thought it would be better at the upper part center..... now i see.. it's at the center.
anyway, whats the difference?

a fast smash comes from proper technique as well as using your body to add that power into your shot as well as you HAVE to get behind the shuttle. you should get your coach to check your technique and form and see what they say when you are preforming a smash.

heyy, i dont understand korean. im going to the badminton districts and i cant do a proper smash: a fast one. any advice?

make sure that you get behind the shuttle, make sure that you make contact with the shuttle so that its a little infront of you and make sure that you use your body and turn your shoulders open them then rotate through to gain power that way. and just keep practicing.

hit it in the center of theracquet head aka the sweetspot

what i must do or any good training i must practice so that it will help to devlop my smash?

where part of my racquet should i hit the shuttle so that it will generate more speed and power?
