I think the chosen grip for each smash depends on your relative position to the shuttle. If I can get behind the shuttle, then I would use a near...
This means your smash is too wrist based. A wristy smash is good for steep angle, but when you want power, you wrist should be more stiff. Try to...
I notice that Cai Yun and Fu Hai Feng use an almost panhandle grip for smashing. Actually they often manage to get well behind the shuttle so a...
