So it seem like you guys got your formula, "Do & Don't" videos. Keep them coming brother. Love from Malaysia ❤️

[Stephens]

As someone who used to play competitive badminton, this is a very good video. Sadly I had an operation years ago on my humerus from a different sport entirely and I could never play badminton the same again. Tendon gets inflamed and hurts :(

[priyadarsshand]

Wow clearly explained by prob and learnt a lot from this video 👍🏻

[tombowcutt]

Your videos are excellent, such good examples and clear explanation. Off-balance smash from backhand corner tip, just what I need. Thank you!!

[DrShafi-xnpk]

such a comprehensive and clear description. Thanks coach

[rajeshkarangale]

Love these Do's and Don'ts stuff. The side by side comparisons are particularly useful in visualizing one's own mistakes.

[kairadaud]

You explain very well, before I always wonder why viktor exelsen despite already tall but always jump when he smashing, and now I understand why.

[donaldzuramp]

I've subscribed to a few channels regarding badminton tips, but this channel is of quality and straight to the point. Time to unsub the other channels and focus on this one. Keep up the good work 👌👌

The video is really helpful for all the beginners to intermediate.

Mindless smashing will drain your energy so time to get smart about it.

[ari-athbadminton]

That's some AWESOME simple tips.
Considering all of us got habits stances this help to see where the gaps in defenses are and how to use the attacking shots effectively.
Mine has been to have the foot in the wrong position (instead of facing the smasher) so peoples above my level can easily exploit the gap where others got trouble finding it in doubles matches.

[CJTutorialSpace]

This one video has corrected so many flaws in the way this sport.
Loved the video. Thanks a LOT

[Thakur_saniddhya]

Thanks got so much to learn keep up the good work✌️

[JuanMiltonGonzales]

Muy buen video .... definitivamente hay diferencias entre el buen golpe y uno no tan bueno . Lo que me doy cuenta es que Lin dan da el paso diferente ... ya lo explicarán.

[claudiusandika]
