  • With this video I want to give my view on the difficulty of different shots, and maybe also give a good guideline for coaches and players what kind of shots they can start out with or what could be the next level for advanced players.
    The difficulty also depends hugely on the context and situation. As I mentioned, a cross defence for example can be super easy or even natural when you hit the shuttle in front of you but far beside you it gets very tricky. Let me know in the comments with what kind of shots you are struggling a lot or what shots you want me to rank that I didn’t include in the video.
    On my channel you find tutorials to most of the shots I talk about in the video: Here you can find them:

    Very good discussion and the film work is great. The dark background really helps to see the shuttle and motions. I especially like the thoughts on why some shots are easier than others. This helps me guide beginners through the tougher but important shots like the deep forehand serve. The ideas on spin-shots are a big help. Thanks for posting!

    For an amateur the forehand serve is sometimes surprisingly difficult, seems a lot easier to serve short with the short backhand. Nice that you mentioned it. Also, I have trouble visualizing the perfect smash and/or clear because I don't know how far beside me should the shuttle be ideally, over my racket hand shoulder, a little bit further to the side or a lot to the side. If someone could comment then I can sleep easier. xD Thank you for the video, Tobias. Good as always.

      Also amateur level, forehand serve is not that easy when you what to mix long and short serve. Smash and clear is not hard but takes time to get the form correct. I found myself made mistakes when not paying attention as I don't practice enough like more advanced players.

    • @rb-ex
      @rb-ex Před rokem +2

      not to the side. in front of you and in line with the center axis of your body. when you practice this you need to always get your body well behind the shuttle, whether you are hitting smash, clear or drop. get behind the shuttle, and then move up and forward to the shuttle. you also need a swing that is generated from your contact with the floor and flows upwards through your body with hip rotation, a stretched and preloaded chest, and lastly into a swing that goes up high before it comes down and you use pronation and finally a grip to impart energy to the shuttle. the reason you are thinking about the shuttle being to your side is you arent doing any of that. you are trying to hit the shuttle using your arm. if you get your body well behind the shuttle and initiate power with your legs instead of your arm, allowing an upwards flow of energy to generate racket velocity, you will naturally hit the shuttle in line with a your swing and you wont have to worry about 'to the side'. the main problem for amateurs is not inadequate practice, but laziness, wanting it to be easier than it is and reluctance to get into the lower body as the engine of power and speed

    nice video, tobias. not so much because of the difficulty 'ranking' of shots, but because you covered a lot of technical points here and demonstrated a lot of nice technique. i have a comment about the spinning net shot. i see many players using a lot of arm movement to generate spin, and i have never liked this method because it is not easy to reproduce. even when we watch your expert coach do it with his flat undercutting of the shuttle, many of his shots are very high and would be instantly killed in doubles and some of them in singles. for me the spinning net shot begins with a lunge position, keeping the wrist high and angling the racket toward the shuttle. the spin and push over the net happens by moving the lunge forward very slightly but quickly, and there is no arm or wrist movement at all. this way allows you to push the shuttle right over the tape, even when your opponent is guarding the net, and it often produces shots that trip lightly over the tape and fall down along the net. no, you dont get the shuttle flipping over itself several times before it crosses the net, but that isnt necessary when you are getting teh shuttle to the tape sooner and the flipping happens on the other side of the tape. moreover, because you are using large muscles with very simple movement in the legs instead of much smaller and more complex muscle movement in the upper body, it is much easier to reproduce the effect than using your arm. the lunge position also preloads your legs to recover instantly and respond explosively to any cross reply

    How difficult do you think the backhand spin/topple serve commonly used in doubles is?
    It basically negates any aggressive return of service unless the opponent has great observation and reaction.

    • @tobiaswadenka8435
      @tobiaswadenka8435  Před rokem +1

      I think it is very difficult to play it with consistency. I tried it quite a lot and get some ok spin into the shuttle but I have a hard time reproducing it in a consistent basis to use it in a match under pressure. I even feel that there is a big difference depending on the shuttle brand you play with as they have a slightly different balance and weight and that already changes the way the shuttle spins

Ein spezielles Mittel kenne ich jetzt nicht, ich denke das hängt auch immer vom jeweiligen Boden ab aber in den meisten Fällen hilft regelmäßiges nasses wischen (und natürlich trocknen lassen) schon sehr viel da der Staub meistens für das Rutschen verantwortlich ist.

    It's weird but the backhand clear, esp cross-court, was the main shot I failed to do well, probably because I didn't practise it enough. I can execute all the others above plus the backhand straight, cross-court and jumping smashes. There are many more shots that top players do that I can't, but then again I'm not a professional. 😄

  • @widowmakergaming415
    @widowmakergaming415 Před rokem

    According to me, toughest were late backhand & attending spin drops. Because all other shots are just our own options. For ex. we dont need to do a backhand reverse slice in a match. We can attempt any other shot.
    Only late backhand & spin drop is created by your opponent. Both have different strategies. One should attend a bit late & another one shouldnt be too late.
    I am just intermediate player. Its my opinion. Advanced players may have different opinion.
