So which thread do you think has helped change your play for the better?

Which thread has been the most useful - you can only pick one :)

I'd be lying if I said it wasn't http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10543 <-- that one :D.

I think many will share my opinion? Maybe not? lol.

Must agree. In that thread, Kwun outlines badminton equipment and it was quite helpful in deciding my racket. If we were to vote who the most helpful person in BF is, I'm sure it would be Kwun^^.

Thread: "Joke" - It makes me laugh when I need something to laugh about
Hello, can you post a link to it? I can't find it for some reason when i searched the forum...

For me, it was the fingerpower thread. Really opened my eyes to new possibilities. Before I came across that thread, I never thought about different grip techniques. Only grips I knew were the v-grip and panhandle; and I was told never to use panhandle for any shot if I value my racquet elbow. So I used v-grip for everything. Got decent swing speed but smash was shitty cuz I was slicing it alot. The thread totally opened up my shot options to greater power and angle. It'll be prefect now if I could only fix my footwork and increase my speed:crying:!

erm may i ask what or how would ur elbow suffer if u use the panhandle grip ??

Panhandle grip is best used at the net... net-kills, drives and blocks. Using it for overhead shots is just asking for trouble. I know of an ex- table tennis player who just getting into baddy a year ago and already he couldn't play without an elbow brace cuz he was using panhandle grip for overheads before. Of course, there are people like PANHANDLE who proved us wrong:rolleyes:.

Anything about footwork.
Improving my footwork has made the biggest difference to my game, particularly singles.

I say this one

Without this I won't be able to tell if my racquet is fake or not :D

Got to be the footwork thread... made me practice and improve.. now if only ligaments grow back.. LOL!!

Others would be stringing methods and tensions.

for me, it's the one about power coming from pronation of the arm. That when applied, improved my overhead strokes by a lot.

Anything in the Technique/Training forum. Any threads on footwork, different kinds of grips and shots, strategies, and what you do to workout. A lot of different threads in there.

Thanks Mag. This thread helped my singles game immensely. I applied the principle in a practice game against my coach one time. That day he said my choice of shots was much better. I still got beat though.

:D

Well, tactics can only get you so far! :p
