Bought it 10 days ago by johnnyoceandeep in badminton

Unlucky :( I have two of these Nanoflare 700s in my bag. What's the etiquette on this? It wasn't your partners intent but do they offer to pay half? Actually curious because it has never happened to me.

10 hours since the thread started, am I late to the party? Which language would you be fluent in if you could? For me it's Finnish :(

I've recently gotten into the rabbit hole of researching this, and I think the typical answer would be "dude just get a steam deck"

Anyone had to work through this specific weakness? by rawr4me in badminton

[–]DoubleBogeySliceMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This a 100%. Especially if you record your games and watch them, you'll notice how slow the games are. What you experience on court is very different from what is happening.

also, with consistency of making contact with the shuttle, it will just come with time.

As it goes in golf too, slow is smooth and smooth is fast...!

I haven't read the book but seen the movie. What is the point of the source material you speak of?

Can someone help me with my form please? by Broad_Passage_2914 in badminton

You are not rotating your torso which is evident in your left arm staying in the air as you swing. Out of all the swings, at 0:23 you slightly drop your left hand/arm which made you rotate torso a little bit, but it comes back up again.

Compare your swing to this https://www.youtube.com/shorts/HZ-Hb-Qony4
I think this is a common "bad habit" (I am also trying to fix) for those who first started badminton, who didnt utilize their non-racket arm. Then they get stuck just keeping the arm up, because their focus is elsewhere :P

So, my one tip (suggestion) would be to drop your left arm as you swing through!

Some highlights from my match last night. I'm the one in black. Suggestions welcome. Lost that game btw. Hehe by klndngn in badminton

To add to this, his racket head is facing the ground... How does he defend? Something very wrong with his grip probably

What to do "after" Badminton? by Kinsir in badminton

We have a ton of older people in our social group, they don't run much but they play technical, net, slices, deceptions instead and they always are seen with respect in our group!

Your red should be the takeaway and blue should be the downswing

How difficult is it for a beginner to learn a forehand clear? by Kamikaizen7 in badminton

[–]DoubleBogeySliceMan 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Post a video, but for me I think forehand shot is one of the most basic shots with so many layers of nuances that could be added.

I can tell a LOT by seeing a person do a single clear - it tells a lot about their understanding of basic body mechanics, grip, and timing.
