We're glad you enjoyed it! We listen to you guys :)

At the net, it helps to be ready by having your racket up and ready to take the shot. At the net and towards the front, speed is key - so you want to take quick shots to force an error, instead of pulling back and executing a full swing. While powerful, a full swing takes more time, and you might not be able to take the shot while the shuttle is at its highest position.

We're taking your feedback on board, Miguel! We'll try to balance it out - as we're also mindful not to make it draggy. The most ideal way for stroke correction might be to find a coach like MTAS academy!

You are not alone, @chanvnk! Its part and parcel of the learning process. We'd recommend practice, or training with a coach to help you progress effectively!

Hey! Thanks for the recommendation - we haven't had the opportunity to get our hands on one yet. We'll try!

hey, i have a wider feet too. and mizuno fits me really well. what works for me may not work for you. but i always use "cm" or "japan" size with Mizuno. it always, always work. hope you find the right size!

yep. :)))

Yeah. Mine broke really easily as well. Never had a racket that fragile. Hit my calf with it and that was enough to snap the frame... Like my fatty calf wtf.

oh no. :,( i'll be careful about it.

actually, i measure it with strings on and with grip on. but i try my best to keep it consistent. tbh, you can easily change the balance point of the racket by changing the way you tie your grip.

@MoreThanASwing ahh i see, probably because of my thicker grips, my measurement are always abit off.

@@iodineclip You are definitely right, it does affect measurements. But it is also a neat trick at times! If a racket feels too head heavy, adding an additional overgrip does help with balancing out the head-heaviness. We love to experiment and find out what works best for our playstyles!

I havent tried the astrox nextage. but i'll be keen to give it a try. :)

wdym?

:)))

There's not enough data here for me to make an accurate assessment. but here's one hypothesis. The NF1000z has quite a small sweetspot. perhaps it took time for you to get used to it. and once you got used to it, your estimation got better. to test this theory. try staying with feather shuttlecock for a month.

@MoreThanASwing Thank you so much Joel, much appreciated, will try your suggestion and see how it goes.

@@soundzgood6775 You are most welcome!

in this video, i was using the Mizuno JPX Reserve Edition. cool right?

wow. thats... a mouthful. watch out for our upcoming video. i will be covering dropshot soon. is that what you were referring to?

interesting suggestion. yes, we will queue that. :)

that depends on the region you are from and whats available to you actually. most shuttles come from the same few factories actually. so where are you from?

​@@MoreThanASwing​sorry for hijacking this thread a bit. I'm also a little curious. I'm from the Philippines (which is in the southeast asia). Would you have some recommendations for good shuttlecocks that offer a good balance between price and durability? In terms of skill level of playing group, our group consists of beginner - lower intermediate players.

Culturally, we are only in the beginning stages of this shift. the shift to pay attention to the being more than the doing. Its a good start but a long way to go.

:)

Yes Sir. tbh, everything plays a part. Racket, string model, strong tension, stringing method, humidity, shuttle, fitness condition, technique, etc.

i find it fascinating that people play with nylon shuttles. It is very uncommon in my country. :)

@@MoreThanASwing very common here in india to use yonex nylon shuttle

yep it is. i think i want to make a part two soon.

i hope the video helps in taking your game to the next level.

thank you. :) where are you from ?

@MoreThanASwing India!

@@sumanthachark Nice! How is the scene over there? We'd love to check out the badminton scene in India

@@MoreThanASwing up and coming!!

having a higher tension means the margin of error decreases. the game is also less forgiving because hitting just slightly off centre will have a greater impact. being human, we all have good days and bad days. so on bad days, we may not be in the best condition because of stress, diet, or fatigue. and because of that, it affects our judgement, timing and execution. on days like that, we may not hit the sweet spot as consistently.

I do specifically train my back movement for this. I suggest covering in front more. hear me out. you played a tough rally, you've set up the shot for the kill by giving a got net shot. but because you are covering the back more, you dont have enough time to go for the net kill and the rally lengthens. what a waste. so, i train players to move back fast, so that they are confident of staying nearer to the front.

Thank you very much for your compliment. Where are you from? and what would you like to see next?

:)

ooo... the NF800 first gen is pretty unique in terms of how it feels in your hand. I would say its inbetween the NF1000ZZ and the new NF800 pro. but still, i dont think that's an accurate description. if you really like it, stick to it! dont need to be a victim of consumerism. haha.

@@MoreThanASwing haha thank you But about the point of view, the NF 1000Z 4U is better in drive, speed, power and control than the 800 pro right ?

NF1000Z. Da best.

Thank you! where are you from?

@@MoreThanASwing Thailand

@@chanvnk Nice! I may be in bkk jan 2025. :)

@@MoreThanASwinggreat!!

hey, ok. i will schedule a video on the different grips. but tbh, i didnt expect my content to reach pro level. haha.

yay! so happy to hear that. what do you think we should explain next?

​I would like to see defense, or, if possible, competent pair interaction@@MoreThanASwing

@@Svetlana-b4l Thanks for the recommendation, Svetlana! We'll try to produce a video on this when we can. Hope you are subscribed so you get notified when the video comes out!

Hey, thank you for the suggestion. We will definitely create a video for dropshot in the near future.

hmm... i havent tried that. would love to review it if Victor could send one to us.

oh wow. this is a difficult one. tbh, more than my video, it is going to take a long of practice. and a lot of strengthening exercises.

Thank you. what do you think i should do next?

these are quite different strings. I prefer the exbolt 68. but i acknowledge that it is completely biased, as with an honest opinion. I much prefer the feeling of the exbolt rather than BG80

haha. thank you for your compliment. where are you from ?

Thank you. where are you from? and any suggestions for my next video ?
