3 KEYS to maximize your SMASH POWER
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 มิ.ย. 2024
- Most players were told to use the hip and rotate the upper body in order to generate power for a smash, but I have experienced that a lot of players have a totally wrong picture, how that movement should look like.
In this video I want to break down the movement of the hip, the shoulder axis and the backswing of the racket to uncover some of the most common but often overseen mistakes when it comes to generating power for badminton shots.
0:00 Intro
0:24 Hip Movement
1:59 Shoulder Axis
3:44 Backswing
6:07 Outro
My Equipment:
Racket 🏸: Yonex ArcSaber 11 (amzn.to/3PjkQr8)*
Shoe 👟: Yonex SHB62 Z2 (amzn.to/3AM3aAA)*

This is very accurate. Many people dont understand it and end up with injury such as golf elbow or tennis elbow but this is very accurate i will show this clip to all my friends. Kudos to Coach Tobias. Thank you
Best explanation I've ever seen.
Thank you 🤩
Yes
Key information within a short period of time! I love these condensed videos!
I love how you demonstrate improper technique (I can also tell it's really hard for you!) to help with debugging. I'm going to record some slow mo footage of my games and try to apply each tip. Thanks again Tobias; you're making the most objective and applicable badminton content on TH-cam!!!
Thanks for another great video! I made all three of these mistakes whilst trying to improve my overhead technique.
Great explanation again, Tobias! Thanks for sharing your very detailed thoughts on technique. You explain and show like no one else. This really resonates with my way of thinking about this. It helps me develop as a trainer, thank you!
Thank you so much. very important information .
Great tips! These are really important, especially the second one!
This is the great explanation, Tobias! I'm impressed. Thanks a lot!
Extremely helpful break-down. Thanks a lot 👍
One of the best video I've watched to explain the smash rotation! It is just a 6 mins video and you are able to explain 3 key concepts orally and graphically. Excellent work!
Thank you so much 🥰
Love your videos Tobias. Very clear and concise information. Subscribed 👌👌🏸
Like your presentation style, gentle yet professional.thanks
Thanks tobias. Another superb video.
Very useful tips and fantastic video. Danke Tobias
Thanks for analysing how the best of the best players do it. Really helpful!
This has to be one of the smartest smash videos out there. It can actually help correct basic smash issues like the hips swinging out first and how the back swing is not forced, but passive as part of acceleration.
So good, it helps on my tennis serve as well, same concept.
This is so helpful. Thank you very much. ❤🙏
Omg. This is the most most most detailed explaination on smash posture 👍👍
This is a great tips and very important detail, thank you coach.
Thank you very much for these excellent tips.
Nice details Coach, thank you!!
Stellar presentation Coach ! Love your videos and the explanation.
Thank you so much 😊
Best tips ever !!! Thank you !!!
Thanks for this AMAZING video, such a deep critical analysis that I think is barely done in any other place online. This is why your videos are the best!
Thank you so much! 🤩
This is brilliant thank you
Thank you so much 🙏🙏
This very much aligns with my own research on the biomechanics of this sport, glad to see I'm doing it right and thank you so much!
I am watching your video while resting for the tennis elbow injury due to wrong technique. I wish I could have seen video before. I hope to recover soon and try doing the right things before start hitting smash again. Thanks a lot for the video. Love the way you described in slow motion. Kudos 👍🏻
very very nice breakdown.....bravo!
Amazing 3 keys technique .. Thanks Heaps
Excellent Sir. Love your videos.
Awesome vid. My poor smash is really hindering me in matches. Great idea about filming yourself. Gonna do that this weekend!
Honestly so good thank you
This is really good, thank you
That's very useful insights on proper technique.
The overuse of rotation is something I've not spotted and was starting to experiment with.
My swing technique being too big I look forward to fix this points. My Inconsistent technique means also sometimes my power come effortless and sometimes it is forced.
The best video i have ever seen for the correct way to smash
Thank you 😊
Sehr geil diese detaillierten Videos!
Freut mich dass sie gefallen 🤩
Best badminton video 😊

Hello mr.wadenka best content ever!!!
Underrated tutorials
Omg thank you!
thankyou bro❤
the most helpful smash tips on youtube
Thank bro
Thank you for sharing coach..i,m from Indonesia love badminton
Awesome, all the best from Germany to Indonesia!
Great Video
thanks Tobias! This is great! I wish you would also do a similar video for Smash (but no jump-smash), I'm wondering if scissors kick smash or China-jump smash require similar movement.
You are the beast.
Just 2 days ago I told someone that over rotating anything is bad and now you make video about exactly that 😄
Perfect 💪😉
Nice.❤

Please make a video on judging the shuttle height and shuttle position to hit a proper smash.
Well explained, Thanks CoachTobias. How much strength should we give to shoulder during a smash or is it to be kept passively?. Please give your valuable opinion Coach Tobias. Once again thankyou for the nice informative video.
Amazing tips, Tobias. I wonder if the first two tips are the reason why my "China Jump" / Jump Out stick smashes often times feel more powerful than my traditional smashes when I am in good position? The jump out prevents the hip rotation (scissor kick) motion, stopping it short and transferring the power up through the arm. I suppose the same thing is happening with my shoulder. Very interesting. Thanks for the videos!
Yes pretty sure that is the reason 👍 having too much time in the rear court can sometimes also lead to that mistakes and many times people hit harder when they have less time after flatter lifts and they are not able to use too much hip and shoulder
How to defeat a short opponent
could you talk about the wrist movements during the swing? I often see that the wirst is ULNAR DEVIATION in the starting position. Also when exactly tighten the grip?
1st, thank you very much for the videos mister Wadenka
call him master
I suggest hold racket, breathing and smash posture for 0.5 seconds and hit with full power. You always should behind the shuttle for this technique. And it is good for wing attack and it helps follow through and get in front court. It really makes damage
classy !
Kudos for your crisp and detailed technique to improve the power as well as to reduce chances of injury
Thanks for highlighting our errors
This is very helpful. I have one specific query. I am a right handed player. While holding the racket in the forehand grip and trying to smash, i somehow always tend to point the racket head towards my left which either results in slicing or the shuttle always being hit towards my left. Any suggestions how to correct this ? Should i slightly rotate my wrist and try ?
Hi Tobias,
Is there a rule about where the receiver's and server's partner can stand during the serve in men's doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles ?
Many thanks.
really nice tips , but when i play i always forget this :(
Nice videos ... I am learning through your videos ...👍🏻🙂 By the way ... What type of grip you use ..? it always look clean...is there any technique to remove dirt ? 🤔.
Thank you 🙂 and no, unfortunately not. I also have to change the grip when it gets dirty 😉
I feel more powerful smash after this video thanks for sharing
Awesome 💪🎉
I forgot to comment on this one when you first released it, what a great explanation.
It's so easy when you hear certain tips to misunderstand or exaggerate certain things.
I've definitely made the mistake of trying to over rotate hips and shoulder, it really doesn't help at all. This video points it out really well!
Thank you 🫶 glad that it helps 🙂
This video is really clear and helpful. Thanks a lot.
Happy it helps ☺️
Please detail rotation left hand or hand off
What is the best specification raket for intermediate player?
1.Very Little hip movement is good to put power in smash
2. Shoulder axis not to far upper body rotation
Too much rotatiin will cause loss of power and balance
I try tomorow
From India yes make video on smash and sholder pain workout
how can you increase your stroke speed in every shot and how can you increase your racket speed for Example how do i increase the speed of me bringing the racket from down in defensce to up quick for flat shot
I am new to play, my forearm is always tight and stiff and I am not getting enough power because of this. It's happening unconsciously.. are there any exercises which help to practise to keep the arm loose. thank you.
How can I practice the hip rotation? Because it's hard for me to use in ingame.
Thank you! It is interesting and usefull indeed. I would like to ask to explain one point: trajectory of the racket blade (z swing). I am 45 years old and learn the flat smash (it is quite strong), but I want to switch to z smash and definitely needs good tips and advises. I tried myself but my smash become not strong and goes every there but not to the aiming point...
Hi. What do you exactly mean by z swing and z smash?
Just a thought, but have you taken a look at Mike Tyson’s hip movements for the power he added into his shots?
❤
Another tip: USE YOUR WRIST, i this helped me elevate my smash to the next level. During practice almost only use wrist, you've mastered only using the wrist(3-4 weeks of training) you can start using more shoulder
Love you bro 🤍🤍
what's the name of the racket in the video ?
Can you make video on when hit smash and when to hit clear shot
You mean from a tactical stand point?
Should've used an example from GohVShem. His smashes are such an eye-candy. Great video nonetheless.
True, his smashes are fantastic! Great example how to use the body in a perfect way, as he can create so much pre tension with the hip and elbow movement!
Can u make a video tutorial on late backhand look like Watanabe?Thank u so much.
Could you send a link what shot you exactly mean?
@@tobiaswadenka8435 th-cam.com/video/4K2gHhqUiVU/w-d-xo.html
This is video.
In video,1:30 to 1:40 and 5:10 to 5:20 , i dont know exactly what is call look like smash backhand or slice backhand.
3:30 to 3:40 late backhand so clear.
Good video 👍
That shoulder is a good point.
Yes as I said something that also helped me a lot and I think you can see it up to a quite high level of players that some turn too much in the shoulder axis
So what racket is the best for power smashes?
There is nothing like the best racket as it depends on different factors. In the end of this article I summed up some of the most important things about the racket selection: www.tobiaswadenka.com/2020/06/01/how-to-hit-a-powersmash-in-badminton/
how to be calm when playing?? :)
My mistake is throwing the shoulder forward
Is it possible to get shoulder pain due to repetitive use of strong smash with proper form?
Yes, in the end the smash is a one sided movement. Done too often without proper counter movements it can definitely cause pain
@@tobiaswadenka8435 Interesting! What good counter movements do you suggest for badminton? Except playing with the left haha.
@@daemonorops3528 Things that strengthen the back, I think a good basic exercise is the T: lying on the floor face down, arms to the side, thumbs pointing up and then raise your arms by pulling the shoulder blades together. That will help to keep the shoulders in a good position and to balance out all the forward movements that you do for all forehand shots
Why this channel was hidden from me
You string yonex ?
Yes
@@tobiaswadenka8435 BG?
@@sir_jimstreet usually I use the Aerobite string, sometimes BG80
Think Bruce Lee’s one inch punch.
Why are you not talking about finger power? Almost all the power in a smash comes from pinching your grip at the very last moment you are going to hit the shuttle. You have a relaxed grip and the very moment you swing you also tense your mustle to create what's called finger power or wrist power. All the best pro's use this to get atleast 100kph harder smashes. Adjusting hip, shoulder and backswing are important, but I could have terrible pusture and yet do a very powerful smash because I used finger power.
A lot of people make a mistake of trying to precise time their squeeze, causing inconsistencies. You just have to keep your grip relaxed and let your subconscious do the squeezing for you.
You are awesome.

Thank you for this great video. The third part is exactly what I've been looking for for a long time. I was very confused during my self-learn on youtube when I was taught the "backpack" technique by FuHaiFeng. so please explain it for me. Thank you.
m.th-cam.com/video/kwPTMLIBbTY/w-d-xo.html
At 17:39
Is Fu Hai Feng really saying that? Because I am a huge fan of him and his attack but he is defintly not doing that backpack thing when he smashes
