this is one of the videos, I am trying quite hard in this one, (more than the other) it's quite short, cause we had to move court, I think the last rally was a nice way to end (for me anyway

)
Comments are appreciated, again sorry about the angle, but it's the best I could have done as I was in a hurry.

I am nearest to the camera btw, and before anyone asks, I am using a AT900t, and NOT my BS11, can't rememeber why, I think it was the first racket I pulled out the bag.

The camera's a tad too high to comment fairly as the perspective of your serves seem rather vulnerable. Otherwise I think your movement can be smoother with a bit of drilling, maybe its footwork or body posture is too tall, I can't see but something's missing. Also, your racket head is quite low, you're having to lift it up majority of the time which is why I think your shoulders aren't high enough, but again can be due to technique: I guess your timing is a slight issue also.

LD rules: i think it would be better for you to post up a vid of you playing someone that is equivalent or better than yourself. it seems as though the guy you are playing in the first video is very basic and predictable.

I will see what I can do, and maybe get a better video on Friday. I think my play has improved though in the last couple of months

@LD rules
i wont say all the good points as they dont need improving :P so heres what i saw
you dont really disguise your drop.
you dont swing back far enough .
you arm doesnt appear to straighten fully so your hitting the shuttle to close to your body
you dont use your right arm enough for balance.

without another longer better positioned video i cant comment more i will when im back at uni and back in shape due to my recent op i will record a video of myself

LDrules, dont get me wrong , you are a good player, but to improve and move o few levels higher you do need coaching and learn the proper technique required. once you get the basic , then you will be flying through with your passion for badminton.

This include the movement around the court , coverage of the court , positioning. Technique would include from gripping for different shots to technique use for smash , backhand , serve, drives .etc before learning the intermediate basic such as deceptive shots , defensive techiques , high backhand clear/smash.

I know I been pretty critical but I hope my pointers would help you to become a much better players within a few months time . It is going to take time but you are still young !
