The Smash Shot in Badminton

"Hi my name is Bryan; welcome back to expertvillage.com. Now we are going to talk about doing a smash shot. First off it will be the same concept as we did the basic one, two, three, position. Just like pulling the arrow in a bow. We are going to start off in a base position. Move back side ways. The left hand serves as a guide. The right hand which we will aim. Same concept as a volleyball players spike and a tennis player makes the serve. Where they place out shoulders, push back, target, and the guide which is the left hand point of contact would be one o'clock. Which is on top of me. This would be twelve o'clock, and this is one o'clock—the swing will follow through. In doing the smash, we need wrist action this time. The action of the wrist which will push the bird towards down the ground. It is smash action. Same position of the bird which is going to be the smash zone. The sweet spot of the racket. Let me show you slow one the guide, the swing, the wrist action, and the follow through. Very important would be the wrist action. If there is no wrist action in doing the smash the bird is either going to go high or go to a different direction. Wrist action is very important in doing a smash. Towards down to the ground follow through. Very important rule so it is a follow through the weight transfer. We get power on the way transfer. Not everything on the arm."
