What Destroys Your Smash Defence (1) Moving Too early
What destroys your smash defense
if someone
the club players
have got poor smash defense
most of them
99% of that players
have this problem
which is
rushing it
panicking
that makes smash defense very poor
ready
opponent smash
look
you must see where shuttle is coming
and then you should move after
what I am saying
wait until opponent hit and see where it is coming
and then you move after
thats what I am saying
but if I say that to most of club
intermediate players
their immediate question is
Lee I will not have enough time to hit it then
I have to move as soon as they hit the shuttlecock
I have to move because it comes fast
if I don't move at that time
I will not be able to return it
that is the problem
question
when he is hitting the bird/shuttlecock
how do you know where shuttle will go
you only know
after he hits
when shuttle is flying to you
then you know
where to move
ok watch this with real shuttlecock
ok smash please
ok ready
smash any side
this is what I see
a lot of club players making mistakes
so what they do
they lift it
they are ready
when opponent is hitting
he is already moving forward
ok like this
I moved too early
when he is hitting
I am moving forward
that's why I can't return it
because I made my move
without seeing where shuttle is going
this should be changed
look hit
look and then hit
look see it
look and then hit
look hit
look
shuttle is coming and then you move
you might say the time is too short
that is why you have to train
if you try to do
gamble way
this player will not make any improvement
because he is gambling
but strangely
if this player waits
he hits better shots
very soon
one more
ready
look
there
look
there
where
here
ready
where
here
Please Compare
look there
The Wrong Way
The Right Way
please do not assume
please do not guess
wait, you will see it
and then move
that way
each day you will make improvement
there is no other way
you can't move
at the time
when your opponent is making impact
you cannot move
he might hit clear
he might change directions
at that moment you have no information yet
you have to wait
until he made shot
and then you move
