    Excellent and keep going. I wsh to see you playing SS some day. Also both are very lucky to be blessed with such a brother.
    One area of improvement what I see is, a few opertunities missed to make a decissive kill. May be this is a friendly training session and you play otherwise in a tournament. Having said that, I also understand that my game is no better than you-speed or technic.

    lining - may I ask, does your twin bro beat you more often than you beat him? Just curious because it appears his technique (e.g. round the head forehand clear) and shot selection is slightly superior to yours?

    Far too many unforced errors, maybe use a bit more variety with shot choice, keeps your opponent guessing.

    Good smash, power is definetly there. Just cut down on the errors, and work on footwork and shot choice.

    Looks like my own games. Maybe take off jacket? Affects motion quite a bit, unless it's too cold. But like LD said, and like me, just way too many unforced errors. It also looks like you don't get enough body rotation when you're hitting. Kind of just reaching out and swinging your arm. I really like your drops though.

    Thanks for your replies guys.
    I agree that my consistency is very poor. can u suggest anything I can do to improve it? We dont usually "practice" in our group. we just go straight and play games for 2 hours.
    And the other thing is, if I play against better opponent, i noticed that i tend to do a lot more unforced errors, how to keep my mind relaxed?

    I agree too that i dont get enough body rotation. I`m glad that i recorded the video because I always thought that my basics are already good,but it seems like there`s still a lot of room for improvement

    He is really good, and his crosscourt drops are really great. How close is he to play in the national team?

    However, tell him to stop screaming when his opponents miss a shot, it's bad manners. Actually screaming as much as he does just makes him look... well, imo, stupid. :/

    that's not even state levels. At most school level if he's in Malaysia. No real power and the opponent sucks. A more competent one would've exposed him terribly

    Hmm, I have no idea what country he's from, but you're probably right. Even in Sweden where I live he would not be close to being on the national team... And Sweden isn't very good at all when it comes to badminton :p

    If I had to guess based on the Location I would've guessed Philippines (without having seen the vid) :D But turns out it's in California (U.S.A.) ...

    hi guys,
    I got another clip here. http://mayvelous.com/externals/zatlite/170311_Singles.avi file size is about 56 mb
    Please help me analyze my game. I'm the little black blur.

    Would also like your advice on best position for camera tripod and if you know any good free video editing software please share.

    Thanks.

    @zatliteblogspot, who are you? There's a black guy, and a person wearing black, then a girl in the bottom playing doubles. -confused

    That angle is perfect if you're the black guy.

    Yeah, sorry about the quality. I messed up with encodings. I'm wearing all black on the right side of the screen.

    nono, not the quality lol. I changed the post but you quoted too quickly. :)

    The quality is perfect. The angle is good, but better if you got it in the same position on the other side.

    The only obvious problem I can see is you never drop from the back court. Every shot is a smash. But both of you are good.

    :) there's a reason for that. my overhead drops need a lot of work right now. I don't think it's in that clip but for overhead drops, I keep stopping the racket motion half way through the swing for some reason. I'll work on that tonight.

    He qualified as #1 in the USA for U15 singles this year, that video is actually a little bit old, he is much better than that now.
