http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wffjxzp1So An exhibition match between an ex - Indonesian national backup , who now plays for Bahrain against another Bahrain National Player Jaffar Ebrahim. I recorded the match, being a line judge. I believe that the Indo guy also trains the national team at Bahrain now. Recorded the match while I went there to play this tournament. GPIC Junior GCC Badminton Open 2010. However, I lost in the semi finals.

^^ I think the rest of the world can be jealous of that facility!! The stuff of dreams... and perhaps it will remain that way for the foreseeable future over here in England.... (and I'm not counting the Milton Keynes centre )
Thank you for the tip. I'll work on that overhead. As for the lack of pauses, the hall we play in uses coin operated light fixtures and we're always pressed for time because every session is just 2 hours (expensive court rental) so I've developed the habit to keep the matches going fast so I don't waste time and so I can play more matches per session.
Here's a video of me from a recent tournament. I'm the one in the blue. [video=youtube;U0IBJPLZZFs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0IBJPLZZFs[/video]
hmmm, when I clicked on the video it didn't let me view it, any chance you can give the direct YouTube link please ? Cheers
thejym, you are a pretty good standard player,your serve can win you more points if it is hit higher and faster and closer to the baseline. At the moment you are just feeding it for your opponent to smash. Techniques on most shots are good , nice footwork and speed around the court and you clearly have some pure talent .
