    Today,after a few match that i have,i start to notice that i have a bad habit,sometimes when my opponent hit the birdie,i flinch and put my whole body weight at my back leg.This flinch of mine is only good when my opponent do a clear or any stroke to my back field since with my weight at back leg i can go to back field really fast,but when they do a stroke that land the birdie in front field,then i wont have enough time to reach the birdie since i waste like 1 second flinching and my weight is at back leg.

    Did anyone here experience the same problem and is there a way to get rid of it?

    I've experienced that problem. When I first started playing in competitive tournaments,
    I found myself always on edge; I guess you could say I was nervous so my body went into a reflex mode. I was trying to anticipate too much, as a result, I lost alot of points before the rally even started.

    Now that I have had some training and experience in tournaments, I am alot more relaxed. If you try to relax your mind and body, your flinch might go away.

    I have a bad habit of spinning my racket between shots...hehe...

    Good luck.
