Sunday CCC CATS at MSAC on 01-Jan-2012 New Year's Day (A Short Report) . Sunday CCC CATS at MSAC on 01-Jan-2012 New Year's Day (A Short Report) We welcomed 2 new trainees, Stanley-C (who participated) and Laurent-W (who sat and watched). Hope that they have enjoyed with us for their first time. Sorry to hear that Iris-Z wasn't feeling well. Hope that she would be well next Sunday. At this CCC CATS, we worked on the Service. Some comments; * Trainees were explained the Laws of Badminton (regarding the Service). * The 'Low Doubles Service' is a precision stroke. Use fewer muscles involved for more accuracy. * The longer the push, the longer the trajectory. * Point of impact at as high as it is legal. * Beware of the radius (the length) of the trajectory. * The Flick Service is to wrong-foot the receiver. * The Drive Service is used when the receiver's racket-head is low. * The High Service is best used for Singles matches. * Be very alert when doing the Low Service in Singles matches. * The Middle-T allows you to stay in the middle of receiver's angle of returns. * In Doubles, after a Low Service, the Server should be in-charged of the Fore-court. * Grip the handle higher to the racket shaft for better control. * The Point of Impact further from the throat of the racket gives a longer trajectory. * Remember the Time Factor is the 4th dimension to the length, the width and the height. * Serve to just short of the Service Line to cause hesitation. * Balance with feet shoulders-apart to get the best stability. * The Shining of the racket-face must be well-controlled by your grip. * Look at the imaginary target (not at the shuttlecock held). * etc, etc, ...... * Timothy-T is now used to pushing the shuttlecock (by extending/straightening the elbow). * Lisa-L requires more work on pushing longer and flater. Also needing a longer follow-through. * Stanley-C is using too much wrist-work, therefore not as accurate. * Laurent-W said he would join us at our Wednesday Social Games (on 04-Jan-2012). For lunch after our session, we went to Mings Dim Sum, at Level 1 Crown Casino, South Melbourne; http://www.crownmelbourne.com.au/mings-dim-sum .
CCC CATS on Sunday 08-Jan-2012: Usual time, usual court . Hi CCC CATS trainees, Please be informed that for our CCC CATS on Sunday 08-Jan-2012, we shall be training at our usual time: from 10:00am to 12:00noon, and on our usual court: Court No.4. Do always check this info thread regularly. This is because there are so many events happening at MSAC; that we can receive late changes to our CCC CATS Program at the very last moment. There is a suggestion from helmut telling me that it's best for me to suggest which chapter/topic to teach based on what I find is lacking amongst our trainees. .
