Water Bottle Hey...i suggest maybe you can carry water bottle with ur wrist. Its like this. You go and find a big mineral water bottle and fill it full with water. And then after that you put in a plastic bag, and carry it up and down with your wrist. I do this 4 times a week. Which is Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Each day i do is 100x3 on forehand and 100x3 on backhand. hehe..just suggesting
I was told by a coach to roll a weight with my wrist and to stretch them whenever i can. to do the weight i took some duck tape the end of an old hockey stick and a 5 pound dumbell weight wrapped the tape around the handle once then all the way to the floor from where my arms were 90 degree and came back up so there was on sticky side then i just roll it up with my wrist and back down and up until my arms wanna explode. and for stretching my wrist (which adds to strength and allows to to generate more raquet speed) i just simplyput the back of my one hand in the palm of my other and push and hold when u feel a stretch then do it the opposite way repeat for both hands

I'm thinking to buy wrist weights from 1KG. Dunno if it will help actually, since what matters, is the flick of the wrist. but i'll experiment with it
for those who really wanna know how to strenghten their wrist... i would advise u guys to use squash racket during training or while u ar playing... bcoz i use this way to improve my wrist strengh... i train together with hafiz n we use to do this training to build up our wrist strengh...
I was thinking about this the other day. I guess a cheap squash racket looks to do the trick. It's like in martial arts. they put heavy weights strapped to their ankles and start to do plenty of kicks onto a sandbag for 30 minutes or an hour or however long they can last. then they take them off and BAM ! the sandbad just explodes ! I am going to buy myself a cheap heavy squash racket and take it with me to badminto club from now on. It can only improve my wrist and my game.
i asked Tony G once .how did he trained with his wrist..he told me that he is using a hammer..doing eight ..rotation...he said if u can doing this 5 mins a day ..for a week..u will feel the difference
Using Hammer Yes, I used the hammer many times. The emphasis is on using your fingers to contract the grip upon thrusting the weight foward. A more effective workout with a hammer, in my opinion, is to use a hammer to hit heavy sand bags hung on a wall. One should practise hitting the sand bag using supination, pronation, flexion and extension.
My wrist to too stiff.. I know if i want to make my wrist flexible, i must also do some wrist rotation. But my wrist is just too stiff to do it and cant rotate 360 degrees. Is there anyway to train my wrist to be flexible??
Flexibility - just do streches and maybe cod-liver oil?? B-H clears, I found that foot work, technique and timing are the main issues. Stand square on, you should generate a whip in your wrist just from the technique of pulling the racquet through, hit it nice and high.. if those are fine, then go back to the weights, racquet-covers, watermelons, etc..
With some caution though, using a squash racquet to hit say overhead shots can cause serious muscle pull or other injuries. Try smashing with a squash racquet and you might end up injuring your shoulder muscles. Using equipment that is not meant for the game can be risky and must be used with care. I injured myself before and it took years for my injury to fully recover. Nick
I feel it's too much. I trained with both a tennis and squash racket and the squash racket is ideal. Why a tennis racket is not recommended: 1) The grip is way too big, doesn't mimic a badminton racket at all 2) Way too heavy, it's so heavy you could change your stroke 3) Too heavy and can hurt you if you swing too fast with it 4) Different shape: true it's a racket but the handle is short and the racket face too big and can change your timing/feel/technique. A squash racket is much closer in shape to a badminton racket.
ya, hes right, without a doubt one of the best ways to build up wrist strength, seeing as its specifically designed for that and all.
