3 KEYS to maximize your SMASH POWER

Most players were told to use the hip and rotate the upper body in order to generate power for a smash, but I have experienced that a lot of players have a totally wrong picture, how that movement should look like.

In this video I want to break down the movement of the hip, the shoulder axis and the backswing of the racket to uncover some of the most common but often overseen mistakes when it comes to generating power for badminton shots.

This is very accurate. Many people dont understand it and end up with injury such as golf elbow or tennis elbow but this is very accurate i will show this clip to all my friends. Kudos to Coach Tobias. Thank you

One of the best video I've watched to explain the smash rotation! It is just a 6 mins video and you are able to explain 3 key concepts orally and graphically. Excellent work!

I love how you demonstrate improper technique (I can also tell it's really hard for you!) to help with debugging. I'm going to record some slow mo footage of my games and try to apply each tip. Thanks again Tobias; you're making the most objective and applicable badminton content on YouTube!!!

This has to be one of the smartest smash videos out there. It can actually help correct basic smash issues like the hips swinging out first and how the back swing is not forced, but passive as part of acceleration.

I am watching your video while resting for the tennis elbow injury due to wrong technique. I wish I could have seen video before. I hope to recover soon and try doing the right things before start hitting smash again. Thanks a lot for the video. Love the way you described in slow motion. Kudos 👍🏻

I forgot to comment on this one when you first released it, what a great explanation.

It's so easy when you hear certain tips to misunderstand or exaggerate certain things.

I've definitely made the mistake of trying to over rotate hips and shoulder, it really doesn't help at all. This video points it out really well!
