Hello, Someone said that my smash actually powerful but when it reaches the opponent side it becomes weak. I'm currently using Voltric Z Force 2012 LTD. Do u guys have any idea regarding this? Thanks...
The OP mentions his current racket, in case it may be part of the problem. The first replier mentions the bird as the potential problem. May I humbly suggest that the first place to look for the problem is in the technique and not in the equipment? What else did your fellow players say about your shots? Do you have a coach? Some of the smarter people here might be able to give some good advice. But in the end, you'll really need the advice of someone who can watch your swing, in person. Best of luck.
powerful smash that becomes weak on the other site doesnt make sense to me at all dont blame your racket it doesnt matter
Hi there, There are 2 issue here that needs clarification: - If your smash end up weak once retrieve by your opponent then it is most likely that you have a weak smash regardless how powerful it may look by anyone else. - Regardless of whatever racket that you use ( VZF Ltd in this case) or may use in the future, it only will facilitate in giving you that extra power in all your swings IF your preparation and technique is correctly done and that racket physical specifications suits well with all your preferences as a player. What defines as "power" in a smash? - Velocity The more power there is in your smash, the more velocity it will produce to the birdie hence making your birdie travel faster. - Pressure/weight effect The more power there is in your smash, the more weight/pressure effect it will produce to the birdie hence making your birdie more difficult to be control once retrieve. To produce this 2 effect in the "power" qualitiy in your smash regardless whatever sound that you may hear after making that smash is not easy if your preparation and technique is not correctly done. This is true since the more power that you need to produce in your smash means that more back swing need to be done and your hitting zone must be at an optimal contact. Performing this with the preferred choice of racket specification that suits well with your swing and playing style, it's likely you can produce that desirable power in your smash. One must realize that its physically logic that while in your effort to produce the quality of "power" in your smash the other spectrum of quality in your smash that is "control" will be compromised if your technique is not done well. This happens since the more back swing that you need to do in order to generate that powerful racket head -birdie impact, your racket head control will tend to deviate slightly or your swinging arch will deviate slightly. Therefore, while training in your quest to improve the quality of "power" in your smash, its advisable that you must first improve the quality of "control" in any of your hits since if you can produce a satisfactory control in all your hits then its likely that you can control your smash well.

If you dont have the power, then practice angle instead. It gives better results anyway, Carsten Mogensen proves this
That seems very obvious... When you smash your racquet is not flat, perpenticular with the shuttles. You slice and thus makes the shuttles spin. It then loses speed as it goes to the othe sides. In chinese it is a stroke called "brushed smash", wish is quite effective to get good angle and surprise your opponent.
