Awesome video! Interestingly, I noticed that my peers who developed their shoulder strength experienced significant smashing gains too! And this supports your theory ;)
Been a badminton enthusiast for a long time and appreciate the effort that went into this video. I too once greatly enjoyed the Lin Dan vs. Bao Chunlai video because it was one of the earlier glimpses at the MS GOAT playing in a chill, non-stadium setting, and getting to see his technique from a close up, friendly angle. Keep up the good work, jixunuli!
Please keep making videos a lot more regularly, since i just stumbled across your channel today, i really enjoyed all of the videosyou made. Your videos especially on badminton analysis will definitely help lots of people who want to improve their game. Keep it up 😃👍
Finally someone pointed it out! The angle of smashes going downward is due to the contact point! I thought I was losing my mind because no one really ever brought it up before but I always see slo-mo shots of matches where they have the shuttle about 1 ft away from their body as they smash
Nice ! I played one year in Shanghai and started to play badminton in 1995. As a learner of mandarin, it's a nice video to increase my chinese with the sport i like the most. Thanks :)
Damn.... Really good instructions. Its hard to understand when the pros try to explain it to you b/c they are pros and have great form. I like the perspective from a badminton fan who wants to get better b/c I have the same issues....
I’m definitely trying to share insights that I’m learning as I try to improve :) some things like the concept of generating power by hitting upward and forward... seem pretty obvious once you know it but it’s hard to realize and figure out on my own. Thanks for watching!
Hi Jeff, It's an excellent idea to summarize your training process and make them into videos. Your videos always inspire me a lot because my situation is pretty similar to yours. 加油！
Thanks a lot! Honestly i think this gives u more power also as u are contacting the shuttle halfway into the swing rather than hitting the shuttle at the start of ur swing and bringing it down
Hi Jeff A big fan of your work and content. Can you please make a video explaining what your coach said about pronation and how to rotate the wrist at the highest point?
I know this is a bit old now but I have some food for thought and a tip for you while moving forwards into your badminton evolution. First of all, I actually think it's better when the feeding isn't perfect. You will rarely get a perfect lift in a match and the need to re-adjust to reach the shuttle is a key part of back-court technique training. And ofcourse you don't want super short lifts, lifts that's wide or long. But being anywhere within 1m of the corner allows for the chance of producing good quality shoots, while still forcing you to adjust your positioning and aim slightly. And by the looks of it, you rely a bit too much on your shoulder/upper arm while performing shots. Just remember to not neglect the wrist and try to always be using it to steer/accelerate/control your shots. I'd recommend that you relax your generall grip hold aswell. You seem a bit stiff, and being stiff takes away some touch aswell as having that extra edge/snap on your hard shots. Many people get stuck on "To hit powerfull smashes I must use all muscles and all power I have" But it's more about timing, technique, rotation and the snap from the wrist. Being relaxed also gives the ability to hit really fast drives from out of nowhere. You start a swing, almost like a block/drop and at the end you tense up, accelerate and snap with your wrist. It will give you some extra punch and deception. Works like a charm for backhand drives like the one you did at 7:45. Nice video, will definitely check out all your other content!
Thank you for your videos. Love the explanation. There is a lack of good badminton videos (in english) explaining advanced techniques and your videos definately address that.
Just found your series and love the simplicity you explain the techniques with! Also the humility too! Any advise for specifically left handed players?
This really is one of the very best badminton content on RUclips, the thing is, its easily relatable and that's what makes it great. Not so easy when you see the world's best executing shots, its like watching chess grand-masters make moves, you are just like, wait what. I'd love to go to China to attend training camps too, how do you arrange these?
@@BadmintonwithJeffrey Well, if you are ever arranging another training, I'd love to go! I applied what you went through in the video today of setting up a bottle for aiming practice and also to keep on my toes like Lin Dan, it really helped! Looking forward to your next series!
You must hit the the bird before it start to drop down , it give you bonus power to it You see the pro player smashes , they all jump really high before the bird start to drop , and just like your coach said , hit the bird on the highest point you can
Thank you for the video, it has given me a new perspective in how to optimise my smash. one question, 4:48, is that stroke your coach is teaching for smashes or for cut smash or drop. because I'm stuck, trying to figure this out. after your elbow is pointing towards the ceiling, then your forearm would reach up towards the shuttle, then you rotate your forearm, is the wrist in neutral all the way through? also do you pronate your shoulder. Thank you
This is what coaches should look like. Completely changing your basics so you start doing the right thing. The power comes from upwards... Woah.... I was wondering how much were the coaching sessions in China? Per hour. I swear a coach like this in Singapore would cost about $100 -$200 an hour, and not even that good.
May I ask where in Beijing is this? It looks like one of the best venues I have ever seen in Beijing :) Would love to go there myself next time and have a hit!
Hey ! Can you please explain what you mean that by "deep smash" on 5.39 ? Half smash is clear, but I'm not sure what you mean by "deep smash". Is it a power smash that is aimed at the back of an opponent's court ?
Hi Jeff, can you make video about how to return using backhand from far back from our side to cross backward to opponent side (the longest and the highest possible)? thx in advance
Hi Admin, I have one qustion if someone hit smashe but did not touch the shuttle can he hit the shuttle coming down..will it be a foul or treat as deception?
Just Subscribed, you're amazing! Everytime I play badminton, I find I overstretch my back when the opponent does a clear. Do you have a video on how to get positioned better when running to the back? I love badminton but as bad as it sounds, I get back pain from doing this poorly Thanks
It's honestly just moving backwards, maybe involves footwork or just needing to go back faster but if it were to be a corner, oddly enough would be my forehand, it's fairly weak after a few game or two Thanks
@@markwalsh1957 Hmm there could be a thousand different reasons why. Email me a youtube recording of your game and it'll be way easier for me to give you relevant help :)
According to my own understanding, when your elbow is brought up above your forearm/wrist, there is way more range of movement in pronating your forearm as you go through the motion, which is where power comes from.
In layman’s terms the higher your elbow is, the higher your initial contact point will be. Just imagine yourself raising your arm up at different angle, you’d able to reach different height for each different angle.
Hi... what do you do after each day training smash? i mean , your hand's muscles definitely will sour and pain. So, how can you get to recovered in a short time and continue for next day training?
They’re good! I like them a lot haha. I’ve never tried the wave fang zero though. I honestly haven’t tried many shoes either, so I don’t even know how to describe these shoes.
easily the best badminton content on youtube right now
I’m not worthy for those words!!! 😵
But he is clearly right
omg swift badminton pls reply to me !!!
poison cobra
wow that's so kind man.
"After smashing for so many days"
Kiwi Osu! Lmfao
I like smashing and smashing. I can't really choose between the two.
Kiwi Osu! Isit just me or he sounds like mr beast
That’s actually awesome that he explains a lot. This lets people improve and learn more clearly! Great video 👍

Nice! You can see the difference, it's like you've gone to the next level with that shot

wow! very good point. hitting upward. and not focusing on hitting it down. this helps a lot. keeps the swing small and more focused power.
Hi Jeff,
It's an excellent idea to summarize your training process and make them into videos. Your videos always inspire me a lot because my situation is pretty similar to yours.
加油！
谢谢～
Thanks a lot! Honestly i think this gives u more power also as u are contacting the shuttle halfway into the swing rather than hitting the shuttle at the start of ur swing and bringing it down
Great stuff and glad you could make such a big improvement on your smash. Provided some excellent insights in your technical changes. 👍
Appreciate your video. Such a nice content. Nice video Angle 😍😍
Hi Jeff
A big fan of your work and content.
Can you please make a video explaining what your coach said about pronation and how to rotate the wrist at the highest point?
Jyot Kamra wrist is only to adjust the racket face angle, to direct the shuttle. Not actually for the smash power
We want more of this real one on one coaching videos.... content is lit..
0:43 yes, the camera moved to the other side
Great to see mate. Wow!! Getting coached in China!!!
The content here is so great.
"After smashing so many days, i think that my smash proved overall"
Me : Yeshh.... Smash is life 😂
you really improve just in 5 days
good video to pointed out all the key point
very nice content, great inspiration for improving my badminton skills

@@BadmintonwithJeffrey Deal, I'm so nearby in Singapore. I'll fly up, just a few hours =p
Hahahaha shouldn’t there be plenty of good coaches in Singapore? But sure! I’ll see when will be the next time that I go back 😁
Great training and obvious improvements!
Really helped me improve my smash thanks
Very informative video. It does not look like a journal vlog even if it is, but more of a very informative video that looks like a journal. Wow.
Haha a bit of both! I’m not sure how interested people would be if it was just a vlog of my progress 😅
This is really good training. Thanks for uploading this video.
Thanks, I also learned a lot.
Great you translated the Chinese skill and knowledge for us!
Great video and very informative! Keep it up!!!
broo i just got a free training session from a Chinese coach! damn this really help me a lot. thanks
Sounds like mr. Beast
when you are nigerian but love badminton. :) .
Hay nigga
Really good summary thanks for sharing
Ken : *hits a shot nowhere near the tube *
The coach : 对好，不错!
Who’s Ken? 😂😂😂 He was giving me encouragement ;)
@@BadmintonwithJeffrey oh lmo sorry I thought you were another youtuber sorryyyyyyyyyy
@@BadmintonwithJeffrey you kinda look like him from the back thou
Hahahahaha no worries. Are you talking about Kenichi Tago? 😂😂😂
@@BadmintonwithJeffrey noe its another youtuber who does similar stuff
Anyone else getting a bit triggered he's calling the shuttle a bird? JKJK love the content!
Thank you for such awesome content. keep smashing!
It is a bit abstract that your coach was saying that you should hit the ball in the direction of high and straight forward when you smash.
this is gold to me thank u
You must hit the the bird before it start to drop down , it give you bonus power to it
You see the pro player smashes , they all jump really high before the bird start to drop , and just like your coach said , hit the bird on the highest point you can

can you tell me where I could sign up for such class ?
Very good!
Good video 👌 keep it up!
Great to see you sharing this. I trained with the Chinese provincial team too and I`m making content now, check it out if you have some time =)
What a great time to be chinese
HI.HOW MUCH IS THE TRAINING AND HOW LONG IS THE TRAINING?
What racket were u using? Or currently using?
How did u get the opportunity to train in China?
Thank you
Very useful
Hey Jeffery is there any online coaching available by this academy where you trained?
I don’t think so 😢
Hi i am from India and can you help me how can i join a badminton academy for a month or two ? It will be very helpful thank you 😊
Hi... what do you do after each day training smash? i mean , your hand's muscles definitely will sour and pain. So, how can you get to recovered in a short time and continue for next day training?
I stretch :) but yeah I practiced smash day 1 and 3 and 5. I did other stuff for day 2 and 4.
Where youa learn this all in China? I mean academy name
do u play at synergy in palo alto?
Hi Jeffrey.
How do you feel with Aerus 3? I'm about to buy one.
Considering Aerus 3 vs Wave Fang Zero.
They’re good! I like them a lot haha. I’ve never tried the wave fang zero though. I honestly haven’t tried many shoes either, so I don’t even know how to describe these shoes.
Anybody knows what does this gym called? Currently live in Beijing and wondering if there some good coaches
It was in 方庄体育馆 :) I heard there was construction there or something, so hopefully they didn’t close down
@@BadmintonwithJeffrey Thank you very much! I will keep my eyes on it
Need to train moreee
Yeah I do 😂😂 it’s just the beginning!
Thanks
What was the name of the trainer?
Can I actually start playing badminton seriously at the age of 16 and still do good?
So I played badminton before but as part of my recreation but now I've been wanting to take it to the next level.
Where do you live? Canada?
Lovely Chinese coach
You from Japan or china?
They call the smash a “KILLSHOT” in china
haha true my friend, literally "kill shot"
跳杀不转身会减少杀球威胁度，可以以后在跳杀的时候加上转身
不一定要转身，他练的主要是单打方式。单打选手需要使用上点杀，劈杀和软杀。把握好这种突然性的进攻才能创造跟好的机会得分
hi, how much is this 5 days training?
After conversion, it was about $45 an hour :) so $225 if my math is correct 😂
great
Bro where do you train in China ?
It literally says Beijing like do you not see the title -_-
It was not there the first time
@@Rocky_6822 ok, alright. I was thinking that could be the case. Sorry about that.
i wish china would share their secret more haha ..the power house of producing monster badminton athletes
they have been in decline for recent years, no new raising star while Indonesia, Japan, Korea is coming back strong in almost all of the categories.
Did you pay for the training?hm?
Of course!
@@BadmintonwithJeffrey how much?
ivan flores Around $50 USD
