Badminton Single Drills

**JustinG** · 02-21-2010, 05:08 PM

I'm looking to learn some new singles drills; if anyone knows or has been doing some drills that they feel are effective for singles play, I would appreciate you share with me.

Thanks, Justin

im sure theres already lots of posts on this topic on the forums if u just search.....

if u dont wanna search its not too difficult to just think about it and make up some drills. With a training partner why not try drop net lift drill with all shots except the net being made crosscourts.

So serve...crosscourt drop....straight net...crosscourt lift and repeat. The more consistant u become the longer and more intense the training rallies will be.

you should work on your footwork more. its the most important skill in badminton.

and here is something i found here:

"The best excercise would be to actually run the corners on court, if you don't have a court then run lines. Make two lines or points approximately the width of a court and side step back and forth reaching down to touch the line each time. Do that as fast as possible 20 times, take a break, do it again.... do it as much as you can. This simulates our activity on court much better than continous running."

i used to do a lot of that activity, and my play improved a lot!!

thanks for the replies. I have added a couple of new drills to my training now. It's important to do different kinds of drills, they don't become boring and that you are always learning.

thnx
