excellent tutorial, both in discussion content and demonstration video. you touched on how you can convert the block to approaching the net and attacking. this is also possible when defending with drives. if they are low and fast over the net, the net player may be forced to soften his reply, and it's essential to exploit this immediately by moving forward, bringing your racket up and flattening the return, and then hopefully finishing with attack. it's a rhythm to master in doubles defense, and SE asian players tend to excel at it
Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed comment. Yes you’re right about the drives also being very effective when played at the right time and executed well. It may also enable the defender to bring their racket up to more level with the tape ready for a flat exchange. We are pleased you enjoyed the video
Thanks for the tips guys. I find leaning forward and creating space in front of the body really helped my defence. One request. Maybe be a video on how to defend/attack flat smash - aimed at the shoulder please. I guess not the shot used at the highest level but happens quite a lot at the club level.
Pleased you enjoyed the video. We have released a short video on the higher smash but we can go into this in more detail in the future. Link below th-cam.com/users/shortsdPWVq9cqLd0?si=EsPNu8OhtdCQtfwJ
Legends, Thanks for breaking down this complex defence position. The one part which I would love to understand is how to place the shot. It's one part to return the drive ya smash, but looping it back makes it really easy for the offensive team to snap again...
You’re welcome, pleased to hear you enjoyed the video. It’s all about racket head angle on contact with the shuttle. When we spoke about the lift we mentioned that the contact point feels further infront which means the racket head angle is pointing up. If this is happening on your drives it may mean your contact point is too far infront and may need to be slightly closer to your body. Try doing the first multi feed routine we showed and check to see the trajectory of each shot, this will help you with feedback regarding racket head angle and what you may need to adjust. Thanks again 👍
@@TheBadmintonZoneHQ thanks again, will practice the loose grip it does become tight, as correctly called out by you... and work on the multi-feed and try varying the racquet head angle.
Thanks for the question. They kind of move together but the focus should be with the wrist as this is what generates the power. Make sure you try and keep the grip pressure loose as discussed as well as when you squeeze on contact this will add pace to the shot. Thanks for watching and hope you found it useful
Check out our video below on how you can introduce more power into your smash. We hope it helps and thanks for watching 👍 Why your smash isn't powerful!!! th-cam.com/video/AG0PISSpjgY/w-d-xo.html
you didnt tell. 1: where to stand? 2: cross defence players tends to has a forehand grip with the racket on the right side of the body like single's defence? 3: How to hold the racket?
Thanks for taking the time to comment, we covered how to hold the racket referring to the bevel grip throughout the video as well as having a light grip tension. We didn’t cover the cross defender as this video has about how to practice your defence with a fellow player/friend, we have had feedback not to try and cover to much in one video so didn’t go into positioning tactics as a pair (we can go into this in a future video) You’re right we didn’t discuss as much where to stand on the half but provided lots of different camera angles which highlighted the position, if you’re playing against a player with a softer smash you could move your base forward. Thanks for watching.
@@TheBadmintonZoneHQ thanks. Can you please make a video on singles positioning? Where to stand, where to serve, what to expect? Not even a single video has been made on this so far on TH-cam.

Shall we move the elbow first or the wrist first?

Racquet swap? 😮
I need to restring the 88d pro rackets so used the Nanoflare 1000 instead for this video.
Good one❤
Thank you so much 😀
