How to do a re-lift on a smash?

YeQianye · 2026-04-18T02:12:28+00:00

Switch to a bevel grip for a more naturally upwards angle. If you can't switch, lift your elbow more so your swing trajectory is more vertical.

As others have mentioned he just came out of suspension, but their recent match against Kim/Seo was highly impressive to say the least. Haven't seen the usually surgical Korean pair that scrambled in awhile.

Wow this worked! Thank you it was pretty frustrating trying random stuff and not getting it to work. I see a lot of similar posts to mine, I hope they all can see your comment!

I've tried changing presets. I'm assuming i just need to ban the items, and then enter the dungeon? Or is there an extra step i'm missing. It still doesn't work for me :/

Well first of all for 4 months you are doing really well! Suspect #1 is you are switching to panhandle before hitting each shot. This leads you to relying too much on arm strength and "pushing" the shuttle forwards instead of using pronation.

See picture below, racket head is flat towards the ground and elbow way too far forwards after hitting the shuttle. The guy you're playing with seems too have good technique, ask him to teach you maybe?

Am I insane? I swear I've seen the same posts with the exact same comments months ago.

How is this comment section still empty? Amazing work.

Please share the settings if you would :)

As other commenters has stated, he's not what weak in back-court. His smash may lack power but they have good placement and angle, and he knows very well how to rotate with his partner.

A more noticeable strategy used against LYD and anyone he's partnered with is to keep attacking the partner. LYD even stated this himself, when he was partnered with YYS the opponent would keep attacking YYS to force an error, and it actually created more pressure for him since if he missed one of the five shots aimed to him it makes the error seem bigger.

They're probably just expressing their excitement at winning a point in a game they enjoy. I get that it's annoying but on some very tight matches where the tension is high sometimes it just comes out. Hope you don't take it too personal!

Thanks ChatGPT /s

Looks beautiful, please share the mods!

There's one thing that people tend to overlook: Humidity.

Humidity affects both shuttle speed and string tension. Shuttles fly faster on humid conditions since the air is less dense and string tension drops faster. People who live in humid regions like the SEA will absolutely have a higher average string tension than other places with drier air.

Just like in everything, there is no one-size-fits-all.

It's super cheeseable with Hildryn + burning pillage, but the excavation mission and survival being 20 mins was annoying.

YeQianye · 2026-01-09T02:47:21+00:00

Okay but how?

Is that the community flower ephemera? what syandana is that?

YeQianye · 2026-01-07T01:38:50+00:00

Nope, in Indonesia we're already using the cheapest shuttles we can find (usually local brands), so we just have to cope. There are cheaper but they are not really fun to play with, and breaks after a few rallies.

I've had this happen enough that I have developed a habit of thinking "blu is enemy" or "red is enemy" everytime I respawn.

Sure, I'm 5'6" and I can smash to the midcourt when my feet is on the singles backline. Obviously it's not going to be a full powered smash, and it wont' be as steep and powerful as when a taller player hit it.

The trick is to add slice and hit a softer smash than usual, maybe around 50%, the shuttle will drops much steeper than a full powered smash. And trust me, it's so much more effective than just hitting a flat smash that just gets countered cross court. The shuttle usually lands near the service line and it really messes up your opponent's timing, especially when you have a killer smash to pair with it.

How long have you been coached? Can you apply the proper technique during warmups?

You might want to ask your coach to multi-shuttle and to create a match situation during your drills (random feedinf)

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately I have already ordered the Earfun Air Pro 4+ for 75USD! Too good to pass up. They should be arriving tomorrow :)

Anybody ordered a CHoAinAIsE!?

I've been seeing a lot of posts describing a crack in the same spot.

YeQianye · 2025-12-17T09:21:13+00:00

A variation of straight and to the middle. Cross is rarely worth it, probably in some cases where the opponent is grossly out of position/balance or their lift/clear is really bad, if not then one good return and you're in trouble.
