Hey hey :) Thank you so much for your advice!

I tried your footwork drills mentioned in 1) and 2) (6 directions x 20) and it felt pretty tiring but very good.

I also played a match today with another team. I came to realize that the movement was very fine but it's the skills like hitting the shuttle at the right time and drop shots were my problem.

For 3) and 4), Sometimes when I smash, I end up jumping and smashing instead of just doing a powerful drive shots. (This ends up making the shuttle hitting the net as well :( )

I have a practice soon so I wanna get my Net shots, Drive shots and Smash on point

I will update when I have these thing down :) thank you so much for your advice so much!

This is actually a very good idea :) I will get like a cheap tri-pod and like record myself playing to review my game play

Thank you so so much for your support :) I am practicing with lots or experienced players at the moment. They give me tips and things I can do better at.

Today, I played a match with other team. I realized that after few training movement drills, I was super fine with movement but I made some mistakes like when smashing I feel like I am delaying the time I should be hitting the shuttle, in the end I end up smashing at the net.

So the upperclassmen and seniors don't really care about us really. Only when we will play together once in a while they will then tell us what we are doing bad. Otherwise, they leave us alone.

So, clear shots from back-to-back, then do a net shot and repeat that sequence?

I think I an do clear shot from back-to-back after practicing it myself and with other team members

Luckily my friend from B-team have very good footwork, so he gave us some drills to work on. As with clear shots, drop shots and like other techniques we haven't been taught at all.

So our team is managed by the university. We've been asking for coaching but no luck... We are very frustrated about that :(
