how to generate "boom" sound?

First of all, certain strings make a better 'pop' sound than others. To generate the sound from your swing, make sure you are hitting the shuttle square on with your racket face, and not slanted like slicing the shuttle. Make sure you snap your wrist when hitting the shuttle.

The more power you have in your wrist, the louder the sound.....I think... experts chime in?

 

Mainly technique/strong power creates the sound , a string can create a better sound , e.g Nanogys and when at a high tension - they make a lot of sound!

 

you wont be able to generate a boom sound if you're a noob. Proper form and technique takes years of experience.

 

I try to improvise the "boom" sound by yelling "boom" when I make contact.

Just kidding, but like everyone says...it is mainly done by proper technique. Although even with proper technique, you may not be able to generate a specific "boom" sound. And when you do get to that point, you may not even be able to tell. I can only tell after they've recorded me hitting and then I watch it. When I'm hitting, I don't hear the "boom" sound at all.

 

LOL this ones kinda funny and can be annoying sometimes, theres this lady I saw in one of the courts I have played, and I noticed the sound of her racket everytime she whacks the shuttle, its pretty loud. Until I found her secret, she put a clear TAPE across the strings and near the bottom of the racquet head! I guarantee you, youll get a BOOM sound that u want to achieve! Though it aint came from the power, but still its the BOOM that you wanted to achieve

 

just get the right technique down first. Then you'll able to tell the differences.
But I would say this is the easy way. One high tension, two feather bird =). With plastic you'll able to do the loud sound, but only if you get the right technique down.

One more thing, I don't think high tension is not good for new comer. High tension is asking for different technique of hitting. So if right from the start you learn the right technique for hitting with high tension then you should be ok.

Like others said, right technique. What worked for me was checking badmintonbible.com's grip guide and make sure I was grabbing the racquet correctly.

Using the basic grip, I made sure I wasn't changing my grip while smashing, which I did before. This is how I found out I wasn't pronating my arm correctly. Using that grip, just practice until you get the feeling. If you're a right-hander, hit at the shuttle when it is in front of you and slightly to the right, not exactly in front, which is what lots of noobs do.

If you hit the sweet spot, it's gonna "boom". Now, the exact sound depends on the strings, of course.

My 2 cents.

 

Is string tension of 25lbs high enough to generate the "PARP" sound ? Strung with Titanium String of 0.65mm ?

 

Doesn't matter if you have platinum strings. If you can't hit the shuttle correctly, the closest boom you'll get is this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9F444CELomo

 

Chessmani: Excellent piece of information you have there. Thanks so much it helped me with my technique!

 

I used to have a very crappy smash but recently I've been generating a boom through greater waist rotation. I had no idea the waist made such a huge difference in the power of a smash but yeah if you're not doing that perhaps you should try it out.
