Help with Stroke Please!!

Be careful that you're not trying to smash too hard before your technique is better. Because right now it looks like you're trying to power your way thru your opponent with your shoulder and an improper body follow thru... both of which will lead to shoulder injury and bad footwork habits.

In the end, it's the variation in steepness, angles, power, and accurate targeting of your smashes that matter much more than just raw power.

practice footwork to the backcourt , and dry swing in front of mirror to master your stroke for a few week after you could get rid of your bad habit, it will improve your game a lot.

 

Looks good. Only comment I have is that it looks like you're not optimizing your hip rotation when generating your stroke. In other words, it seems like your hip rotation is often a follow through of your arm stroke instead of the other way around. If you generate your stroke using your hip first, your stroke will be more powerful and deceptive than the other way around.

 

Utilizing the hip is important because, without it, you are currently generating all of your power with just your upper body. This explains why your stroke is so large because short strokes would not generate enough power for long clears nor fast drops.

Longer strokes are easier to read by your opponent and less deceptive.

Utilizing the hips properly means less effort necessary for the upper body resulting in a more compact stroke which can generate as much power and be more deceptive.

You've already made huge strides since your first video which is really impressive.

 

Let the shots that you felt were more effortless be your guide to improving your strokes using hip rotation. Most of your shot are still very reliant on your upper body to generate power with large swings. These large swings are the reason many of your smashes are going into the net. Without the large swings, you don't feel you are generating enough power in your smashes. Improved hip rotation will fix the reliance on a large swing.

Your shot at 00:35 is also a good example of how utilization of hip rotation can help you. That same shot could have been hit with power if you had initiated it with hip rotation and would have resulted in a strong drive shot instead of the weak shot in your video even though the shuttle had already passed you.

In addition, Cheung is correct that you do need to hit the shots higher. That shot at 00:35 could have been attacked at a higher point and before the shuttle had passed you. The video here at 1:40 shows exactly how to hit these shots better in the future.

 

we were taught to have a large follow trough to understand mechanic of the swing (without the correct understanding and half swing player most likely get the tennis elbow injury) . However, since you are able to do forehand shot with stretched arm now it is time to move to another level. You need to understand the mechanic of the kinetic chain. The power you generated is already been released after you hit the bird. To me I come to understand and started to reduce my swing when I learned backhand. Currently, you complete the whole swing let count it as 100%(but the pro sometime only perform 50% of your follow thru) . Look at the pro after they hit a smash and power clear their racket head stop just sometime above their hip (but their shoulder still complete the motion) and then they are in ready position again. But to make this possible you need to be able to start using your wrist more. I called it snap motion. It is a good moving amount not too much and not too less in wrist. Without it, your shot wouldnt be able to make it thru the back and you will come back to the large swing automatically.
But still make sure you are able to move behind the shuttler faster.
