Leading 10 points but at the end lost

It is of course very different if you are leading 10-0 or 18-8 ..

But with a big lead I usually go more for winners (ie less margin, closer to the lines etc). It doesn't matter with that big lead if i loose a few points extra as long as i get enough winners to move the score up to 21 before my opponent .. going for the lines and maybe hit some smashes even slightly off balance could also save some extra energy for the coming sets

You should also analyze HOW you are winning the early points and HOW you are loosing the later stages of the set.. PErhaps your opponent is better but just a slow starter? or you need to work on your stamina etc..

how did you lose 30-26, that's not a valid score? do you mean 30-29?

i think what you should be doing when you have a big lead is to calm down and play safer shots. let your opponent take the risks because they are more under pressure, then they'll start making mistakes and before you know it, you'd have won.

 

You lost your focus and relaxed after gaining a significant lead. You shouldn't change your tactics just because you got the lead. This is why you got the lead in the first place.

 

No rally scoring?

30 points old scoring system sounds like a really long game!!

 

try to forget about that match as a whole, and forget the score. then focus on that one rally

 

Coach Gary is rite, im sort of in the same position as urself. For example, there is 1 chap who i know i can destroy any day of the week. He is ok but im better, i was playing him 1 day, i was up 8 - 0 & thinking, i have this won, then he came back, i had 2 fight hard & i won but only just, tink it was 21 - 18.

U cant afford 2 relax, keep doing what ur doin, the game isnt won til some1 gets the last point so keep fighting hard.

 

If your having a tough time executing a victory I would suggest looking at your game. It is very possible that you have some shortcomings in your game that your opponent unravels before a match is finished.

Once your opponent figures it out you have virtually no chance to win.

Backpedaling and analyzing your game for shortcomings is one of the toughest things to do...I am going through it right now actually. It has focused my game away from competition and more into training which is never easy.

However, some short term pain can lead to some long term gains.

Just my 2 cents.

Hey I think you should make sure that you have enough passion and energy just as your start. You should just try your best and the result is there . You should not take too many attion to the point while you are palying .

 

If you can find a good coach then start there.

If there is no coach around then read all the information found at this site and start comparing your game to what you read.

Once you find something that you are not doing right start working on it until you have it.

I have found that badminton is a process of 3 steps forward and 2 steps back as I figure out what I am doing wrong and correct it.

This is why finding a good coach as soon as possible is so important.

it's all about mentality and focus.
When you lead with big margin, you're tend to play not focus enough as before. Double is two player game, technique is a little part of victory, but team work and strategies determine the last result.
once i've lost to 30-28 after leading 10-28, what a game...

 

30 with rally system is like a killer. I am very sure i wouldnt last that long playing. 30 games is like, wohoo!!!
