- What is the secret behind the footwork of top players to have such an amazing speed on court? In this video I will take a closer look at three of the greatest men singles players of all times and give you my opinion on what makes them and their footwork so special.
-- Summary ------------------------------------------------------------------
In this video i will go in detail on:
0:00 Intro
0:42 Lee Chong Wei
3:52 Kento Momota
6:19 The incredible anticipation skills of 2 times olympic champion Lin Dan
11:06 Outro
Here you find videos from all three players with nice camera angles so you can have a closer look at the things i talk about in the video:

Kento Momota: • Video

You will see, that all 3 players are very good at anticipating and they all have a good rhythm and timing.
If you watch older videos you will most likely see, that players hit more often during a jump compared to recent matches. In my eyes a general improvement in defensive skills is the reason. Players have to be more patient and think more about following up quickly and playing longer ralleys at a higher pace. For me Kento Momota is the perfect example for that change of style.
-- Additional tipps ------------------------------------------------------------------
Also in the front court landing and hitting at the same time can be a very useful rule of thumb. For a long time I thought I should put down my foot as early as possible to have more control in my shots. The problem: at the same time i learned to push out of the corner as fast as possible and the result was bad control in my shots as i was moving out of the corner and tried to hit at the same time. As soon as i managed to hit and land at the same time, the quality and lenght of my shots improved instantly. Only under pressure it makes sense, to put the foot down early, to get back in balance.

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
Gutes Video! Danke für das hochladen! :)
Great work. Especially the part about anticipating 👍🏻
Looking forward to next time on court 🤗
Another very good video - thanks Tobias!
Excellent, man. Watch a lot of badminton but never notice these things unless you point them out. Thanks.
Great video, breaking down the top players!!
love your Lin Dan Shirt. Great Video Tobi;)
Diese Details sind mir noch nie aufgefallen.👍👍
Tolles Video und gute Übungen
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!
Great video bro!💪🙏🙌
Great video!
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.
Yeah!! Great Vid!!!!
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.
Thank you. Sounds like a good idea =)
Great information helped a lot
Could you also analyze the footwork of tall players such as Chen Long and Viktor Axelson?
Good idea, i will think about making a video for/about taller players =)
@@DolceArdore Akane Yamaguchi
Chen long the most balanced player according to me, hardly we see him unstable or imbalanced in the rally
Yes
Make fast 2yrs done
Sir you are great, and explain very easy way. I practice more to see your video. Thanks 🙏🙇🙏🙇🙏🙇🙏🙇lot.
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
Love your videos
Excellent analysis.....
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!
That is so cool to hear, thank you so much and keep up the work =)
Thanks 💓👌
Chen Long:
Am I a joke to you.
Jkjk, nice video!
Anticipation 😊A great challenge to address
Help full video thank you so much
Thanks!
Nice Video, Thanks u, happy new year ^^
Thank you. Same for you!
Waaooooo👏👏👏you explain so good ..👍👍
Great
Nice! collect expierences too learn! make small steps of anticipation to learn! detailled tips and good examples to train this way. love ist!
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!
Here you go: th-cam.com/video/8NdIdn0KN-s/w-d-xo.html ;)

LCW blitz floating twisting very natural footwork !.
Awsumm coach... 🏸🏸🏸😊
Footwork 'tempo' is the most important thing badminton footwork.
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
This is great video…flying shuttle exercises are often not considered as important as feeding.
Wow👍👍👍
Please make tutorial on badminton on ground or on court training pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
i played badminton before casually.. tough sport to master ... it was really really hard to control the court's space
Wowwww.... Really wowwww
great video can you make a video about hating and landing at the same time backcourt
Thank you! What you mean exactly?
@@tobiaswadenka8435 Land und schlagen gleichzeitig
Hey buddy first of all great job on the video and secondly what shoes were you wearing when u were playing against 2 people
Thank you =) It is a Babolat shoe that I am wearing in that video.

@@Badmintonbyshreyans i am actually not quite sure but i think it is the shadow tour 1
@@tobiaswadenka8435 oh but it's pretty good
We need to improve!!
Foot work of petergrade and Alex is also brilliant....
First like also first view
relax after high lift
low jumps to get out of corner and keep pace high
directional split step early?
I have a video request how to jump smash specifically how to not fall on your ankle when jump smashing! thank you
What you mean by "fall on your ankle"? You mean getting injured during landing?
@@tobiaswadenka8435 yes! that is what i meant
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
やっぱ予測って大事なんやろなあ
Plz make a vdo for tall players plz like how to be fast on court and how to be stable always for example victor axelson.
I hope you will help me😊
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
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
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!
Yeah Momota is all about efficiency in my eyes so playing long rallies and using less energy than the opponen. LCW is/was more about speed and attack
@@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?
Just show and catch the slow motion videos of them .
What about Momota's stutter steps back from the net after lifting high?
Und nächstes Mal vor dem Dreh Griffband wechseln. ;)
Was meimst du mit stutter steps? Ja habe jetzt extra schwarze Griffbänder bestellt, dann sieht man sowas nicht mehr ;)
@@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.
Which racket r u using
Yonex Arcsaber 11
No doubt you are a good coach.
Which footwork would you prefer. Is this combination of all ??¿¿
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 ;)
But, no one of them moving so smooth like HIDAYAT. T
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

I like taufik footwork... more relax... 😗
桃田ぁ〜！
What do you think of Antony Ginting's footwork? I think he has the best.
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.
@@tobiaswadenka8435 Well said. But 1.72m is just for you?!!! thats strange.
7:28 does that mean there is no anticipating footworks
Lin and momota are ladies lcw is the man
that's why LCW destroyed by lindan almost all the time. especially in 2008 olympic, he make LCW looks like a kid.
Ginting? he has the quickest and most agile footwork on court imo.
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
@@tobiaswadenka8435 keep uploading great videos. Your channel is really beneficial for me. Sorry for bad english.
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
Those three guys are amazing and definetly have the potential for another video ;)
Hey boy lcw is not walking that is called jokey
