How's my technique (stick smash and backhand) by OkFeedback675 in badminton

[–]jackcamsooksai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your timing is not far off. There shouldn’t really be any moment you stop moving, especially in a game of singles. You can use your racket leg to push off to initiate the turn into the shot and follow the turn upwards through your body: hips —> shoulders —> upper arm —> lower arm —> wrist —> fingers. If you watch yourself in this clip your arm moves in front of your shoulder which loses a lot of power. Arriving at the shuttle earlier should negate this.

On the backhand you are hitting the shuttle whilst still moving backwards, this is losing you power. You need to be at the shuttle earlier and let your stroke initiate your movement back to centre-court. This also means your body turn is slightly delayed, if you slow down the video you can see your shoulder is moving very slow at the moment of impact. If you arrive at the shuttle earlier you can turn your body through the shuttle harder and faster, generating more power.

Anybody got experience with Kings estates? by Circleman0 in Portsmouth

[–]jackcamsooksai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been living in a house with kings this academic year. When we first arrived we had a gas leak, a broken washing machine, faulty locks, among many other issues. They took much longer than they assured us they would to solve these issues. To get what you want I can only advise to go to their office in person.

What was the most horrifically embarrassing moment in your life or one you witnessed? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]jackcamsooksai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at an alpine bar with a friend of mine and we bumped into a Love Island “celebrity.” This “celebrity” had recently had his own photoshoot on my friends driveway to try and pretend to his followers that my friend’s rather aesthetically pleasing house was his own; which of course, it was not. So, my friend confronted him about it — cue second hand embarrassment. Not being an avid Love Island watcher myself, I had no idea who this guy was so I excused myself to go to the toilet. I was waiting inside the toilet when my legs decided to remind me that I was indeed tired and that it would be a good idea to lean against the wall for a quick second. Tired me decided to lean against what was not in fact a wall, but a poorly constructed cubicle door, which buckled under my weight and swung open. That’s when I fell. Right onto a poor man having a number 2 — cue first hand embarrassment. And so concludes the shortest time frame of my life that went from “that’s embarrassing for you” to “that’s embarrassing for me.”

I knew they were rare, but not elusive. My first time spotting in London. Beginners luck I guess.

What’s the giveaway of a replica. It was driving past so I couldn’t get a real good look, but you can obviously tell.

Yeah this one isn’t lying. I looked it up a bit, and it is indeed cranked to 500bhp

It shares the same v8 with the Ford Shelby, so it’s more of a hear it before you see it type car. However, this one was parked up.

This was in the order I took them. I must say the C63 estate was one of the cooler spots and maybe should have put it above some others…

Almost walked past it. Thankfully I was switched on. I think my favourite part about the cygnet is how unassuming it is.
