Sunday CCC CATS at MSAC on 15-Jan-2012 (A Short Report) . Sunday CCC CATS at MSAC on 15-Jan-2012 (A Short Report) We welcomed 1 new trainee, Christine-N. Hope that she has enjoyed training with us. At this CCC CATS, we worked on the Swipe. Some comments; * The Swipe is a stroke with follow-through over the net. * The stroke direction goes upwards, not downwards. * Keep shining the racket-face towards the court (not the stroke direction). * The longer the follow-though, the better is the precision. * The point of impact is above the net tape. * The touch is best performed at medium pace/speed. * The Swipe gives little time for the opposite net player. * Swiping harder will hit the shuttlecock to the back player. * Hitting the shuttlecock with the frame is the best. * The opposite net player's racket-head shall not obstruct the stroke. * Grip the handle of the racket not too tight. * The Shining of the racket-face must be well-controlled by your grip. * The Point of Impact cannot be in opponent's side of the court. * Remember it is the Time Factor that beats the front net player. * Have racket foot forward for longest reach. * The Swipe is for the Net Challenge, and not for playing against a Dropshot from your opponent's back-tram line. * etc, etc, ...... * Timothy-T is swiping the shuttlecock too fast. The back player can reach the shuttlecock. * Lisa-L requires more work on the backhand swipe. * Brendan-L is doing OK. * KeChong-K requires more work on the forehand swipe. * Hong-N sometimes uses the forehand grip for the backhand swipe. * Christine-N often ended up with the 'Tap' stroke instead of the 'Swipe' stroke. For lunch after our session, we went to Meet Bowl, an Indonesian restaurant at 95 York St, South Melbourne; http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/71/1462168/restaurant/Melbourne/Meetbowl-South-Melbourne .

Sunday CCC CATS at MSAC on 22-Jan-2012 (A Short Report) . Sunday CCC CATS at MSAC on 22-Jan-2012 (A Short Report) We welcomed 1 new trainee, Africa-C. Hope that she has enjoyed training with us. At this CCC CATS, we worked on the How to play Mixed Doubles. Some reminders; * The lesson today is used when the woman is weaker than her man partner. * When the woman is equal of strength to her man partner, then Level Doubles could be used. * When the woman is stronger than her man partner, then the man could stay at the front court. * The front player is to control the Fore-court. Best to stand on the Service Line. * The back player is to control the Mid-court and Back Tram- lines. Best to stand between the Service Line and the Back Tram- lines. * Whenever the front player can intercept the flight of the coming shuttlecock, DO IT. * The front player should hold the racket-head higher when moving closer/nearer to the net. * Note that front player cannot block the follow-through of opponent's Swipe stroke. * The back player should shadow the front player. * The front player has very little time to see the shuttlecock crossing the net. * Best selection of play for the front player is to use: - The Low Service - The Bounce - The Swipe - The Net Kill - The Tap - The Push Shot - The Dab It's not good to Lift. * Best selection of play for the back player is to use: - The Low Service - The Dropshot - The Smash - The Dab - The Push Shot - The Drive It's not good to do the Lift and/or the Overhead Clear. * etc, etc, ...... * Timothy-T is doing well. * KeChong-K requires more work on hitting through the Gap. * Africa-C uses too many Lift shots. Lunch after our session was held at Pho Hung Vuong 2, a Vietnamese restaurant in Richmond North. http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/71/1505012/restaurant/Melbourne/Pho-Hung-Vuong-2-Richmond .
. It's great that you are writing everything down. Good that you have enjoyed yourself. We know it's not easy for your first session. Why? Because compared to our regular trainees, you haven't learnt many of the strokes/shots that they can do. BTW, that was KeChong-K, not Hong-N. .
