i dont find the use for backpedaling,i usually turn around and backshot the shuttle,anyone here tried to back-jump-smash before? coz i actually know how to di itbackpedaling is too energy consuming for me(at the cost of a packet of milo)
you could turn that so your racquet shoulder is facing the net and move sideways over.. forgot, theres 2 ways of moving sideways like this/// 1 where the legs cross and the other where they kinda gallop... some french terminization..
your never going to be able to get anywhere playing like this its too unorthodox. There is no way you would be able to after playing a tight net shot and getting a deep lift have time from the net to turn around, run without really seeing the birdie, stopping underneath where you expect it to land, turn around, and jump smash. Its not really feasible or practical imo. but hey if you can do it... i want to see lol
I think more energy is used turning around than backpedaling although it may seem more difficult for you. Besides, turning around will also mean you will get to the shuttle later and at a lower height.
Yes Forward motion will always be faster than backward or sideway movements.... thats why 100m sprints and other distance and speed discipline are done in forward motion and not the other forms. However------- badminton is not about that. it is about short quick movement with a contant change in direction.... something very hard to do in a badminton court if dependent on forward motion alone. cheers 8man
Eurasian - A guy named Jean Johnson used to do this type of run back - gave guys like John Goss fits as they had no idea where the shuttle was going to end up. Very weird to watch, but he was so smooth. I tried it once. it was not pretty.
You're assuming I have the grace of a badminton player. As Cooler and few other can tell you, there is reason my wife refers to me as a "Rhino" on the court. Fleet of foot, I ain't.
haha u are amazing surely if u dont play badminton at all, then u'll save loads of milo hehe...what do u do if u need to hit a net shot at the front left of the court, and then ur opponent hits it to your (right) deep forehand corner to land in the rectangle there?
Since Loh is going to visit the Hougang outdoor court that you play at (see the other thread), he can bring along his camera to take photographs of your technique. As long as it's not competition-level badminton, I think you can get away with a lot of unorthrodox techniques... and I'm sure it's interesting for spectators too
