should i continue jumping or practice smashing while standing i smash wayy better (stronger/steeper) when i jump and i do the scissor kick should i continue jumping or practice my smash without jumping
just jump smash its stronger deeper and much harder to get you can work on your normal smash but it'll prob be used only for surprise attacks
You should probably practice on smashing while standing because there might be times when you don't have the time to jump up then smash.
yes practice while standing too. pay attention to your body form before you hit it, very important. because it's also important to know how to do the same thing, but different ways. that's how you trick opponents.
just a question. when you say jump, is that jumping from a stand and smashing? or is it a hop when moving backwards and smashing? there is a big difference. if you're being picky, every single rear court shot should have a jump, as when you rotate your body, your feet lift off the ground to allow for a smoother rotation. it's such a small movement most people disregard it as even a jump. perhaps you're not rotating when smashing whilst on the ground. or maybe you just have Lin Dan genes......
u shouldnt be jumping everytime when u have a chance for a jump smash, you get tired more faster that way unless ur stamina is like god-like then by all means go ahead. If ur already good enough doing jump smashes, focus on normal smashes
Not only that. Jump smash takes more time for you to recover to balance stance, which means if against a superior defensive player, you are asking for trouble. It requires a lot more recovery time than most other strokes.
If ur short u might recover your balance faster than if ur tall hehe.. so u will might be able to pull it off hehe... all in good humour ya haha... i'm tall and i've always had a problem with balance lol have to crouch very low lol tiring stuff ...
i just over heard some semi-pro player teachine some junior ..... he say in smash your albow must be above or around shoulder area? is that correct ? when you do a smash ?
That does make sense because if it was under your shoulder you would be aiming for the ground right in front of you. For me my elbow is just above the shoulder.
Thanks andrew for your quick reply ... but i think i am out of badminton for at least 3 days .. my tricep .. hurt .. when i do any swing .... i focus on footwork .... i been trying some japanese brand ice gel ... i when to spa this morning trying to warm up the hand but still the pain is there.. i even took some anti-pain med.. still did not do much ... so i guess i just have to stop playing .. badminton and work on footwork and run .... Thanks again for the advice your help is great !!!
After the pain disappears wear a compression band on your upper arm to reduce the chance of future injuries. Make sure you also stretch the arm before you play as well.

I don't know but if you were to put it on your arm only put it on the ends ( elbow or shoulder) not in the middle.
