smash defence how to do smash defence in doubles, singles also mixed doubles if a player has not got confident of defencing smash he she cannot play game confidently

before i explain the techniques of movement and racket skills i would like to discuss about the positioning first does not matter how good racket skill a player has

if he is finding or standing wrong place then they cannot make good smash defence the question is where to stand i lift shuttle to opponent then i have 3 choices number 1 - from the net, rear court i stand exactly center about here or i stand little bit forward or i stand little bit backward

what is your answer what you think some people some players say should be exactly centre some might say little bit forward because they can attack it some might say little bit backward in my view when shuttle is in the air in normal shot its better to stand not exactly centre

one step backward that will be the right place in defencing opponent smash reason 1 - if i stand centre or little bit closer the speed of smash will be much faster also the opponent smash can come to my body also to my floor so the area, i have to defence will be much wider but if i stay little bit further back

i can see shuttle better also the distance between my opponent to me will be little bit longer so i can defence it but if smash come to here in this position i don't have to hit it because it will go out so the area i have to ready, prepare to defence will be much narrow than when i am standing center or front have a look i am standing exactly center

between the net and end line what happens shuttle is coming too fast the angle is too wide if i stay little bit backward about here then easier shuttle will come around this area so my racket is there, then most of them

i can return it quite comfortably if my opponent smash here then that's out so not to worry about this area and the third reason why the player should be not standing center rather one step backward is this some might say lee if you stay little bit backward what happens to the net too much gap ok no drop shot will land here

most of drop shot will land around the service line so from here to the service line is not too far and most important reason why player should stand little bit backward rather than center or forward is this from my body my arm is this long, that's in front from here i have racket so from my body i have this much length in front of me, so if i am standing center here

actually i am taking shuttle here which is too quick if i stay one step backward my racket will be center or little bit forward if my arm is this short, my racket is this short then may be exactly center will be the right but because of this player should be standing backward much easier now, posture

the most difficult shot to defence is to the body so the player's posture should be smaller and crouched and looking that way, rather than like this if i do that i can see shuttle better like this but if i make posture like that, like this much slower so posture, upper body, lower body together smaller, crouched

then my weakness will be covered by my racket now the racket position when shuttle is in the air i don't know whether my opponent will smash or drop shot or clear most dangerous shot in that situation is smash so my racket should be some where here where shuttle comes when i am ready like this

and opponent hit clear, i have time to go from here, when my opponent do drop shot i have time to move forward but if i do that, racket is high opponent court and opponent smashes it then i don't have time to put my racket down and hit it no chance so the right posture the racket should be lower have a look please

some where here like that step in defencing smash, how to make the movement all the movements same after my opponent made shot i must do the initial identifying step of where watch my feet carefully please

ready look where - here rather than just standing standing and hit standing and hit no rhythm look and hit

look and go look, look if you are looking all the match real match no player stand still and make move every single player, they do that every single time now, racket skills racket skill

how to hit the shuttle same, in this technique the finger power is very crucial rather than wrist have a look what i mean smash backhand side please this is finger this is wrist too big, too slow forehand same

this is finger power wrist this finger for the fast, sharp stroke skills this finger power is needed look, in general posture, my racket should be away from my body not here please compare away here

there now not here, here so too slow put your racket away so you can make quicker actions ok once more the rhythm of movement steps, how to start, how to stop and how to come back watch my feet please

smash please go ready move - hit look - hit finally, i know many players they worry about their backhand because their backhand is weak so when they are ready they don't ready 50-50

they ready 70-30 so when shuttle comes here they do that i know some of the top international players they do that but in my personal view that is not ideal why? from here, limited shot i can make block or drive but if i can do that

i can do across block, straight block across drive, lift i have much more choices this one is limited if this players opponent know he is doing that then he will smash here and he will do that again so that is not ideal or that's not the way trying to do

the way trying to do is this center 50-50 and the mind of this player should be like very deep lake because its so deep there is no sound no panic the players they cannot defence their smash not only because of their lack of skills but more because they panic

so they move before rather than very calm and wait smash any side please look make this shot like gambling already decision yeah ready for backhand, that's lucky ok

that's ok but what happens if i do that if shuttle comes here, problem ready here it will be much better, from here so ready for both ways i know its difficult but it will be the way to train, rather than limit yourself for just backhand

by this way your ability will be limited because of this so make your mind very calm and wait wait, wait, wait until you actually see the shot and then make movement finally, the racket actoin look ready shuttle comes to the backhand then don't go backward from here go forward

could you throw shuttle by hand please yeah here look ready shuttle comes, they try to hit hard so they bring racket backwards because its there shuttle comes to you more so its difficult to hit it look, compare this one do like this or look here

same forehand not there ready there so, i would like to say the final word in this video the technique, foot work is secondly important number 1 - in order to be better player playing better skills, better technique the mind the hunger, that is number 1

have a look again please so, when this player practice it should be like this seriousness ok, ready - hit casual two different badminton it does not matter the level what matters is the mind

thank you i hope you enjoyed and you find it beneficial thank you
