Yes good point. Anticpation is a lot about cognitive abilties and the other things are more motorical. But you will only become a good player if your body and your mind work as a unit so try to train both asepcts together
Great vid. I applied some of these into my game and the result was amazing! How about breaking down doubles players next. Kevin Sanjaya's speed, Praveen Jordan's amazing smash, or LYD/YYS defense seems to be interesting subjects.
Aloha Coach Tobias, awesome observations and great drills. Control, anticipation, explosiveness, and rhythm are key skills. Fortunately I don't have to face Lin Dan, LCW, or Momota, but all good opponents possess some of these traits to a certain degree and by recognizing these strengths I can counter them or avoid playing into them by developing my own skillset and strategies purposefully and methodically. Everyone is habitual. They play their best and favorite shots consistently, by anticipating this predictably I can practice and develop the skills you have so kindly shared. When training I always focus on shots and skills that will work against specific club opponents. I have decided by playing more efficiently I increase my chances of success. Thank you so much your tutorials, they enable me to more readily identify strengths and weaknesses in myself and my opponents. As an aside I remember that Tony La Russa, the great MLB manager of the A's and later the Cardinals kept a written record on every pitcher and batter his team ever faced. He used this information against his adversaries. He could predict what they would do (what pitch they would throw or what ball they would swing at), in pivotal situations in the game. A huge advantage in his favor. I mentally try to do the same thing on a smaller scale. Know yourself, know your opponents. Doing very small things right all the time lead to success. Love your work Coach Tobias you make me a better player every day.
Seriously,,,,, I learned from 3-4 of your videos and my badminton club are like, darn, you are getting better!!!! It feels awkward at first, but it's clicking in points.! thanks!
Thanks for the focus on these top players. The physical skills help but I especially like the ideas to practice anticipation so the directional pre-jump is efficient. The Danish coaches I have worked with suggest concentrating on two or three spots and give a way a deep shot where correction steps don't hurt as much. A full cross-court clear in singles can be managed. As an opponent's deception gets better it takes more concentration as the shuttle leaves the racket, which is very hard to do. Table tennis concentration on the spin service is another example of laser focus. Great video series!
Also, Lin Dan's footwork is smooth, efficient, cool and stable because he takes small steps. Yeah agreed that he anticipates. Hey Tobias, you look so similar to Viktor. Anyone will believe if I say you are Viktor's brother. Lol :'-D
Haha XD Yes you are right, I think you can make a lot of videos about his technique but his ability to read the game is the thing that amazes me the most.
your explanation and videos are really awesome. can you please make videos that also explains after retrieving a drop shot from both corners, which leg should be use to side step back to the base position preferably. also when we hit a baseline shooting lob, which foot should touch the base position first; and what if we hit a dropshot. kindly explain each of these scenarios for straight shot and a crosscourt shot. i really don't understand which 3 corners should i focus on each time i run back to the base. thank you Tobias
Thank you! =) A really good question but also very tricky und difficult to answer. The problem is, that the right recovery not only depends on the side from where you play the drop shot and the direction (cross or straight) but also on the speed and exact placement in your shot as well as your opponents situation. I will try to give some general tips for that when i do videos about drop shots
Could you upload one of your own matches? Seems you use footage from a few in your videos, would like to see them in full-duration. Your channel is great!
Lee Chong Wei's relax strategy literally makes no sense mentally when you're on the court. In a intense match, no one would go "ahh i should just chill" and walked back to the center. Your heart would be pounding after exercising and your mind will be on edge. BUT he remained so calm always. Insanity at its finest. Besides, we would think that getting back to the center as early as possible will give us more time to react or to be in a more prepared position. LCW disregarded that. As with Momota, his footwork's main point is that you need to be patient. Not all shots will be winners so you shouldn't overcommit for a shot. Play it safe and wait for your moment. It's fairly simple in concept but you'd need to have a strong endurance and stamina for this to work. Playing safe and long rallies would take a huge toll on your accuracies and consistency later in the game, which is another thing Momota excelled at. Besides, without good shot placement, your opponents will not make a mistake for you to capitalize on either. Lin Dan is a different breed altogether. Playing agressive without fearing of mistakes is so risky, yet he pulled it off effortlessly. His mind games are so specialized and seemingly without faults. You would not spot anyone even attempting to learn this footwork because there's no reason for it to work unless you have the same experience. Most would opt for a safer and consequently less efficient footwork for its consistency. Unbelievable man.
Yes the opponent has a little bit more time but as I said, you will be a lot faster at the next shuttle as well and you will also be in good balance. I would say a lot of players often times jump way to high, hit in the air and bring themselves in big trouble as they need so much longer to recover and regain balance from that shot
Hey! In my video about footwork styles I already talked about some differences between small and tall players and bring up the example of Nozomi Okuhara and Pusarla Sindhu that have a height difference of more than 20cm (you can find it here: th-cam.com/video/nsz448MxkZw/w-d-xo.html) It is important to understand, that tall players need longer time to turn the body so many of them use not so much hip rotation when they go to the rearcourt (especially the round the head corner) but they often use a cross behind with only little hip rotation before the shot. You already mentioned stability and that is a very crucial factor to do that. If you are tall than focus a lot on knee stabilty and work on a good leg axis to be able to use these techniques efficient and to minimze the risk of injury
Yes as I said I think they are all exceptional in different areas so if I could choose I would like to have the explosivness of LCW, the efficiency of Momota and the anticipation and positioning of LD ;)
@@tobiaswadenka8435 Ich meine die vielen kleinen (5 bis 6) Schritte, die er manchmal zur zentralen Position zurück macht. Rhythmus? Etwas anderes fällt mir kaum ein, da es auch nicht unbedingt energiesparend aussieht.
would you say that Momota's footwork is more suited to a defensive or counterpunching style and LCW's more suited towards a faster more attacking style? and please analyze Taufik's footwork too, thank you!
@@tobiaswadenka8435 by efficiency and using less energy than the opponent, what do you mean please? Does it mean he makes opponent move more then him or take less step to get to the shuttle then to recover? Then, try to extend the point to further maximize the "efficiency gap between him and opponent? Or, all of them. Thanks!
@@ductrung3993 I think it means that he uses better footwork and anticipation so that he can get to the shuttle easier as compared to other players who might use more energy for the long rallies and by defending, the opponent may smash more thus losing even more energy?
Thanks for so much information... Bt my family economic condition is not that's much nice to go for coaching.. if any matches for scholarships are thir pls let me know.. so that i could do something for country.. and i ll get satisfaction that money did not kill talents
I checked some matches of momota but i see him hit the shuttle at the highest point many Times. When hé doesn't jump hé lands and hit at the same time. But everyone does it. Do you have a example of what you mean
I dont think that he is doing that many times espexcially compared to other players. Only when he has a good chance to score he really jumps up and hits it high in the air. I think in this video (th-cam.com/video/a8tK_bEVt_Q/w-d-xo.html) you can see the difference to players like ginting (first ralley) that is hitting at the highest point so many times. In the ralleys where Momota plays a lot of rearcourt (in the video especially against axelsen and lee chong wei) he usually jumps not that high and hits when he is landing or already really close to the ground
I think he has incredible speed and maybe the fastest footwork at the moment.With that he can outpace many opponents and he is also fast enough to hit during the jump and still be high on the next shot :P Even Kento Momota said in an interview, that he has to change his game against Ginting because he can play a higher tempo than him and that means quite something ;)
@@tobiaswadenka8435 Can't agree more on that. Do you think footwork(better/faster) can makeup(at least part) of small height?, What do you think is the key attribute in players like Akane Yamaguchi, Nozomi Okuhara that help them makeup for their height?
@@sumanthnandamuri2168 Yes for sure. I think Lee Chong Wei is the perfect example that you don't have to be tall (he is just 1,72m) to be succesful. I think small players in WS like Yamaguchi and Okuhara have to be very patient and they rely on playing long ralleys where they make the court big for the opponent, because it is hard for them to hit direct winners. To be able to do that you have to be incredibly fit and efficient with the footwork. And about speed in general: I think you need to have a certain amount of speed and explosiveness to become a top player. If the difference in speed is too big compared to your opponent it is almost impossible to win, no matter how good you are technically, tactically and/or physically.
Yes he probably has the fastest footwork at the moment. Momota also said that it is difficult for him to play Ginting because usually he is the faster player
I wasn't offended: although Taufik Hidayat, Jonathan Christie and Sinisuka Ginting were not mentioned even though in fact they could defeat Lee Chong Wei, Lin Dan and Kento Momota
The secret of Kento momota's foot work is avoid to jump when you are playing a long rally..U only jump when you want to smashing or attacking
I am a big fan or steady and continuity of play and taking only little risks. Kento Momota and Chen Long play these types of games.
And To stay low and have a low center of gravity.
what you are saying really is:
Momota & LCW: can be done by training your body
LD: maybe done by training your mind
Yes good point. Anticpation is a lot about cognitive abilties and the other things are more motorical. But you will only become a good player if your body and your mind work as a unit so try to train both asepcts together
LNDs foot work seems so simple,but actually it is harder and danger as well
Excellent, man. Watch a lot of badminton but never notice these things unless you point them out. Thanks.
Great vid. I applied some of these into my game and the result was amazing! How about breaking down doubles players next. Kevin Sanjaya's speed, Praveen Jordan's amazing smash, or LYD/YYS defense seems to be interesting subjects.

Great work. Especially the part about anticipating 👍🏻
Looking forward to next time on court 🤗

Lol :'-D

Am I a joke to you.
Jkjk, nice video!
awesome as usual, top quality video...
I'll try this right away.. and I completely agree lin dan doesn't use many correction steps
thanks tobias
Great video!
Great video bro!💪🙏🙌
Yeah!! Great Vid!!!!
Anticipation 😊A great challenge to address
Footwork 'tempo' is the most important thing badminton footwork.
Nice Video, Thanks u, happy new year ^^
Thank you. Same for you!
Great information helped a lot
Love your videos
Excellent analysis.....
could you highlight the anticipation of the shot, like how to recognise the placement of the shot

Great video
Hae man at the first glimpse I thought that That you are Viktor Axelsen!!!
Thank you. Haha i already heard that a few times now XD
Help full video thank you so much
Nice! collect expierences too learn! make small steps of anticipation to learn! detailled tips and good examples to train this way. love ist!

i played badminton before casually.. tough sport to master ... it was really really hard to control the court's space

那您解释解释为何LCW可以打到36岁还不会掉水平？看看隔壁林丹，这不就证明了确实有效吗？（单纯提问）
@@felixv3546 I agree bro. LCW's footwork is extremely effective and cost-efficient. And he's so smooth with it too.
Foot work of petergrade and Alex is also brilliant....
about momota: when you hit shuttle in lower position you give more time your opponent to get ready to your shot which is not good also
Yes the opponent has a little bit more time but as I said, you will be a lot faster at the next shuttle as well and you will also be in good balance. I would say a lot of players often times jump way to high, hit in the air and bring themselves in big trouble as they need so much longer to recover and regain balance from that shot
