Hi there, before i begin let me insist that i have made use of the forums search feature but could not find the answer i was searching for.
Bit of background, i am 20 year old university team player, been playing casually for around 8 years but now taking the game seriously and learning the science behind the game to achieve and build an exceptional game. I have a good grasp of the basics and now looking to really step up the finesse and aggression.
Now onto the question, im now looking to master the jump smash. My foot work is good, side on, power from the back foot, but its the role of the waist in mid air i have trouble with. Do i rotate it around 45 degrees so im ready to hit, then add the additional rotation of the forearm behind my head and unwind just as im about to hit the birdie? I thought the abdomen was best kept straight to transfer the power from the legs up to the arm during the jump?
Also i find myself not always landing with my racket foot forward, what could the reason for this be? i Follow through 180 degrees. - on a side note, i hardly follow through 90 degrees for the overhead clear, which i think is normal.
I just ordered a NS9900, and am hoping the combination of knowledge and racquet upgrade will better me as a player.
Kind regards.
Sid
