Post videos of yourself playing

**Joseph** · 09-12-2009, 01:19 AM

I ended up recording a game and a half today in singles. Rallies were short as usual. Watching it has made me realize how out of shape I am and how much I baby my knee (just fear of reinjuring self). It's gonna take a while to upload.

Alright heres an actual game of singles im playing while i was in china at the provincial 2 center for part of the day. im in the blue shirt, nothing spectacular or anything just thought i would post it up dont expect any huge smashes or anything though.

So the video finally uploaded. I'm gonna say this again, I am out of shape and only play once or twice a month.

Expect a lot of short rallies and me moving extremely slow. Also, white walls + yellowish floors = very bad bird visibility on video. We're also using a plastic shuttle cause we don't have any feather birds.

I'm closest to the camera when starting. Dark Gray shirt, solid black shorts.

Nice , I can see you were completely taking the attack. How old was the other person? He looked really young! But very good for his age!

I would say age 12 - 14. I know someone who went to China to train and was placed in a group ranging in ages between 12 - 15.

wow your movement is very good
I wish my movement was that good (although it has improved 10000000000% since my last video)

Same here! I love the fluid motion - just shows what practice can do.

Now for me to go do it (and stop using schoolwork as an excuse

)

**smash_master** · 09-12-2009, 06:02 PM

thank you all for the complements on my movement, personally though i feel my movement is bad, slow and lacking still trying to make it better.

How long were you there for? The guy I was referring to was there for a year and was coached by Chen Jin's dad. He got a couple shirts from Chen Jin too. He did move into an older age group 15 - 17 later on.

Here is the video of my friend playing. May we have any tips or constructive criticism on our technique and how to play better? Or anything we are doing wrong. Thank you : D.

Great play smash_master. How do you make those smashes look so effortless, and those tumbling net shots, crazy!

I see you get lots of comments on your video. Great play!

If only i am half as good.

With regards to the Kent video - stepping back is fine but you need to have a more fluid motion in hitting the shuttle. You're kind of stopping and then going for the shuttle. I think you should move your right foot forward while hitting - this will give you the momentum needed to get to the centre of the court.
