As always, thank you for watching! Please feel free to share this video as we have a goal of reaching 100k subscribers before 2021. ✅😊🏸 much love, Viggo
Hi Even though you are ranked amongst the Top in the World, you take time and share your knowledge and techniques all in Badminton. This gives a great insight for the club players. You are doing Great. Thanks n God Bless.
This video boosted my smash atleast 30% or more.. many tutorial videos emphasize on the shoulder and elbow rotation but I always felt that if I focus on hand, the power I use is not equal to the speed of the smash like I use 100% strength but the smash speed is only 60%. Until I watched this video.. you teach the opposite way which is not focus on rotation of elbow but focus on hips and waist rotation.. thanks the coach to explaining where the power should be generated from and now my smash is really satisfying.. the speed is equal to the power I use... Thanks alot... This is the best and most useful smash tutorial.. hope to see a tutorial of jump smash!
It is great to be a good badminton player but even greater to be a kind human being. I believe you are both. More power to you Viktor! Thank you for these tutorials...
I just picked up badminton again, after almost 5-6 years of not playing, and want to improve on my techniques. Honestly, i feel like I've stumbled across gold watching this - i mean it's Viktor Axelson!!! The guy who got bronze in Olympics and he's actually teaching us techniques and i totally appreciate this so much
Thank you for that Viktor Axelsen. I just started playing badminton at 24, instantly fell in love with the sport from the time I stepped foot on the wooden court. My smash mechanics were really off as I switched from playing volleyball and my smash was mimicking my spiking motion with the elbow stretched high for the whipping motion. But now I know what I was doing wrong.
The best part of Mr. Victor is that he is with his fans, looking in the eyes and talk. What a beautiful and lovely character. Best regard from Myanmar, we love you.
I like your videos so much because your videos are short and on to the point directly. There is no unwanted explanation in the videos. So nice of you. Thank you so much for your content.❤️Love from INDIA 🇮🇳
Amazing tip for hitting a powerful smash. I see you have prescribed the pattern which does not give emphasis on elbow and rather on your shoulder. Keep sharing the doses of playing wisdom. Thanks Viktor. You are truly an inspiration.
Love it, different from the other smash tutorials out there where they go step by step in slow-mo, this one is straight to the point with the core concept of generating good power correctly.
Hey Viktor thanks for clarifying body movement basics for smash. It will be really really useful if you could share 1. How to practice for it? 2. Exercises to improve smash power. Like would you recommend a specific hip movement/core exercise to improve rotational power from the hip-core movement?
i dont know why some people dislike the video?? he is sharing his knowledge for free! i bet these guys dislike the video because they can do it better?
Awesome, sir! You're truly one of the best, so I always feel a bit disappointed when you defeat our Asian athletes. However, off-screen, you're so kind and always generous with your wisdom. Wishing you a long life and continued greatness!
I hope that each of your videos is given subtitles to make it easier to understand, because your viewers are not only from Europe but from Asia like me, thank you
Wow...first time watching your tutorials and they are so helpful already...The backhand grip for smashes in another video was particularly very helpful. Thanks Victor...and best wishes for the upcoming tournaments! Hope to see you in Delhi next year!
ty for the vid. by learning from arguably the best smasher in the planet, my smash form has improved after watching this vid. pls upload more i miss u :(
Great video - noticed a big improvement in my game. Helped with timing too as to wait and tense yourself (Hodor for a bit) and then release...somehow ties in to easier pronation too! Thank youuuu!
Thank you for the lesson. It is always amazing to listen to your class and a big note of encouragement at the end. I have been really struggling with the power smash. I use to get confuse with pronation and wrist usage in actual match. I have never been to professional class. RUclips has been my teacher. So would be really grateful for a tip on pronation and wrist problem and help to generate more power in smash
Great video 😊 I tend to use too much of my shoulder and elbow The movement of the hip to chest to finger power is really I need to work on....like a bow 👍 Also, you didn't state the obvious " the contact point (i.e. front of the body)" Could you please make a video on the following: 1) how to recover from the corners 2) how to recover after overhead smash
I love the way you play so confidently no matter how strong your opponent is and i've watch playing against Lin dan he win but you play much better than his gameplay.
Wow!, this video was really helpful, talking the truth this is one of the most helpful video of powerful smash ever seen 😘😘, hope you keep uploading these type of super helpful videos Love from India to Danish Badminton Players 🤗🤗.
Love your Personality ❤️. Hey Viktor, i have a Little request, can you please make a tutorial on how to mentally prepare yourself before a game, i tend to struggle a lot in that part. Thanks ☺️,Love ❤️
Thanks Victor, I had a good smash when I was younger, and shorter of course. I stopped playing for about 10 years and when I returned, I just could not generate the same amount of power I did when I was young. I am only 44 now, but I have started to work hard on my smashes and it has slowly started to come right as my condition improved. I will surely give this a try as one aspect I have picked up is that I tend to dip down just as I hit the shuttle. Now if I don't do that, then the power is there, so now I will focus on keeping my elbow high and turn my body a bit more, and then do a slight leap as I hit. Will reply tomorrow.
One of test tutorial video on RUclips. Good example 👏 top badminton player so far. You always welcome young players to your training and motivation sessions. Besides the young players learn from you, you yourself learn new things from them as well. Keep shining ✨
Thank u Viktor axelsen sir. Being so generous to teach us some badminton stuff...I have just started to play,. I am finding so much fun to execute what I have learnt..it's the best FEELING for me
So you think core and hip rotation is more important than pronation of the arm? Thanks for the tips! Also, could you make videos on badminton singles tactics? How to approach different playing styles like SYQ&Ginting (attacking), Momota (patience) or Chen Long(defence)?
I don't think one is more important than the other. It's about using all the muscles in the kinetic change working together in sync at the right time. You can see how eas he makes it look to hit it that hard, scary right?
@@JacobsBadminton Did you mean chain? Well he has been training since he was a kid, every pro has an effortless smash, but some pronounce pronation more and Viktor is doing more of a compact smashing with core and hips.
@@martincerven If the smashing way of pro player don't fix to us,what exactly is the best way for public. By the way, Smashing is my problem from then till now, I have played approximately a year.
I love watching all of your matches on BWF. You are amazing. We still cannot play in my city because of the Corona lockdown =(. I had to travel 100 miles just to play 2 months ago.
I really really appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos and it helped me correct my mistakes. Even a thousand thanks would not be enough. Hope you reach not 100k, but 1 Million subscribers(you will get it soon!)
Hei. Badmintonspiller fra Finnmark, Nord-Norge her. Jeg studerte denne videoen din i dag, og prøvde etterpå å smashe på samme måte. Det gikk mye bedre enn før. Takk! :)
Remember this. I have seen so many player and people tell me, I want badminton rackets that can smash very powerful. I want power in my shots. Just to let you know, badminton isn’t all about smashing. Your footwork, technique, skill, experience, control and most importantly focus is even more important. The more power there is behind your smash, the easier it is for your opponent to counter your smash as a good player knows how to ‘borrow’ the strength in your smash. I am from Malaysia and many top state players don’t even use high end racket.
heyyy viktor i just wanna say that i discoveres your channel really late but i watched all of the va academy videos and it has really helped me and my playing style has completely changed. thank you so very much
Hey viktor, due to injury ,you have been struggling to play ,but although, you haven't stopped your passion , of teaching people ,how they can perfectly execute these shots, hats of you From biggest fan

Don't ever doubt yourself and the helpfulness of these videos; for us non-professionals, insight of this caliber by not only one of the top players but also a world champion and an Olympic bronze medalist, really does help with our approach to the game. It may not sound it from your perspective, but for us who can't see the technicalities of the sport with as much clarity as a professional, these videos help much more than you know :) Thanks again, Viktor!

Idol, do you also rotate your forearm really fast or is it just the high arc swing?
When a world class player teaches, we are 100% into it.
wrong attitude actually, keep in mind who is teaching world class player?
Being a world class player is a selling point to getting more people to listen but Im also interested in his coach. That guy knows his stuff.

My smash mechanics were really off as I switched from playing volleyball and my smash was mimicking my spiking motion with the elbow stretched high for the whipping motion.

Didn't know about the elbow needing to be relatively high. Learned something new! Thank you

Great tutorial Victor! The fact that power comes from the body and not only from raising elbow during a smash is a good one to learn for beginners.
Yes, this what I want. The advantage of a tall body could do the smash without jumping and also generates power optimally. Good Job, VA!
Amazing tip for hitting a powerful smash. I see you have prescribed the pattern which does not give emphasis on elbow and rather on your shoulder. Keep sharing the doses of playing wisdom. Thanks Viktor. You are truly an inspiration.
You know, we all get basic informations how to smash everywhere nowadays. But those kind of Information like your Coach told us is gold (2:00). Thx!
It is so nice to learn technique from a world champion. I like Coach Lin too; he reminds me of old Kung fu masters.
This guy simply don't have attitudes like others.that what makes him special and different.so much love❤️❤️😍
He's so diligent and hard-working. Follows a strict routine everyday, never getting cocky and slacking off.
That coach explanation on from where the power generated is awesome.
Definitely going to strech my body next time.
Thanks a ton
Congratulations Viktor ❤️🎉 once again watching the Olympic Champions tutorial.
Dear VA , I keep watching your match , This is new learning for me and without much elbow rotation , thank you
