I love to use stick smash in doubles, especially against older intermediates players who usually play slow and tactical with lots of flat lift and clears.
Thanks for the tip and video! I've only noticed last few months there's not 'a' smash but many variations. This style of smashing was one I've been preferred as I've struggled with timing and positioning for regular forward smash. Great to see you teach it and recommend it for those wanting to get used to things and forearm rotation! As I'm a bit slower to learn new tricks this is my current go to
i didnt know i was spamming this technique all along! i mean the preparation is so quick, you can also do it from so many 'formless' positions etc. good to keep in your repertoire
I'm a beginner and have been doing stick mash (unintentionally). Due to my lack of technique, experience, power, etc, whenever I tried to smash, I always end up doing the stick smash. The cock falls pretty close to the net. I've been trying to fix it since it's neither a drop shot or a smash, but it seems I have to learn how to do this consciously!
Stick smash is very effective to allow placement of wherever you want the shuttle to hit the floor... Vary it... If your opponent is at the back a gliding drop will force him/her to come closer to net... If he's close to the front a full smash might be better... A stick smash is useful for a counter strike situation where the opponent is not fully ready to reach to how quick n sharp the shuttle comes back after he or she just hit it and you can't have the time or not in place to do a full smash to catch the opponent on a just recovered after a hit state. Drop will be too slow and they can still recover and dive/lunge forward quickly...
Ah, my coach calls this quick smash. Very useful indeed, when you play this shot, opp gets off balance and there you can follow up with full power to end the rally.
Without knowing the name & technique, i had used this stick smash only for around head shots. I got small injury in shoulder recently. After that i completely stopped using any around head shots. Instead i switched to backhand for those shots.
Where should the index finger sits when doing stick smash? I see at 3:52 you have your index finger on top of your middle finger, and your thumb on top of the index finger, kind of like holding a fist.
Goh v Shem and Lee zii jia seem to use these in place of full power smash and they have the best smash in the game. Does this mean I should completely replace the full power smash with this technique?
They also use arm movement many times. Especially Goh is extraordinary in using his full body to hit hard and you should defintly also be able to hit "normal" smashes.
Hi, I appreciate your videos very much. Taught me many things .I regularly practice with your videos. How about including video about movements in doubles ?
I made a lot already together with Gronya Somerville. If you look on my channel you will find videos on many different topics for double and mixed players 👌
Thank you very much for the reply. I didn't go thro all of them , but what I saw were about tactics and positioning in doubles. But what I meant to ask was about shadow practice in doubles . All the shadow practice s were from a singles point of view.
Hey Tobias, thank you for this great video! one questions i have is would you say another advantage for using stick smash is that the preparation for this shot is quicker than a normal smash with less body rotation so it could help to catch your opponent off guard?
Yes 100%. On flat lifts you usually have no time to prepare for a power smash with body rotation. That is also why you will suprise many opponents with a stick smash because they do not expect something fast in that situations.
It is a very big topic as so many factors play a role what you should and can do in the gym. I already tried to give a few ideas on that in those two videos here: ruclips.net/video/f9m_9FkVj5s/видео.html ruclips.net/video/ZTi65ac3Ifc/видео.html maybe that can already help and answer a few questions but as soon as you want to start out with weights you should always have a professional coach or instructor at your side!
verry good im am traing to improve my atack, and this will help me geting the aponent out of balenc, and maybe a couanter atack ore rush forvord a to tapp 🏸
tbh this account is so underrated i’ve learnt so much from his videos compared to others
There's more information here in 5 minutes than some Badminton channel's entire video catalogue.

Well explained and understood the nuisances. I call STICK smash as STING smash. Thanks.

Wird heute Abend sofort ausprobiert :)

same here buddy, my smashes lack power but comes in really steep, just found out im doing stick smash
Thanks, this is the first time I've heard of this shot. I will give it a try and see how much I can stick it to my opponent.
Excellent video!
Thank you Coach 🙏
This is so helpful! Thank you!

Fantastic explanation! Thank you Tobias.

I’ll will definitely try to add it to my game!!
This is soooo incredible
Coach, Stick smash will not injure the wrist ?
No if you keep the wrist locked there should be no pain at all
@@tobiaswadenka8435 I see.
Means a lot coach.
Going to club now will try it out.
Very soon sub- veteran nationals are coming up 🔥🔥🔥
@@upward_onward see yt tutorials abt wrists in badminton
Help me a lot, thankss
how do i get more inches/length like viktor so i can add this in my game?
Does your thump end up above the index finger at the end of the smash or does your thump stay between middle and index finger?
When I hit so during impact it usually is above the index finger but when I relax the grip it goes back down.
Where should the index finger sits when doing stick smash? I see at 3:52 you have your index finger on top of your middle finger, and your thumb on top of the index finger, kind of like holding a fist.

Good video
This is very helpful. I am just wondering if it would also be effective shot for a smaller players like a junior players. Thank you so much.
Would you recommend adding a jump first for small players or interceptions? Thanks for your great videos.

Hi Tobias, I think your channel had footwork home session, core home session and so on. Hope that you can do about gym session.
It is a very big topic as so many factors play a role what you should and can do in the gym. I already tried to give a few ideas on that in those two videos here:
ruclips.net/video/f9m_9FkVj5s/видео.html

maybe that can already help and answer a few questions but as soon as you want to start out with weights you should always have a professional coach or instructor at your side!
@@tobiaswadenka8435 Thanks for your response and your advice. I will try.
Thanks for the wonderful explanation Tobias. Does practising it help improve normal smash?
Yes most likely, because you will develop more power in your forearm, that will also help your smash or any other power shot
@@tobiaswadenka8435 Thankyou very much Tobias
have you tried the new arcsaber pro?
Is stick smash the same as check smash ?
Maybe, I never heard the word check smash
Hello Tobias Wadenka, can you teach me how to smash like Lee Zii Jia ? Many thanks ^^
Hey tobias, i see you're using an arcsaber 11, what is the string tension you've applied if you don't mind me asking
I use Aerobite with 12.5kg tension
@@tobiaswadenka8435 thank you so much for the information!
ouu i didnt even know the name before ... i just use to do this since i am a tall guy and it feels like a quick drop lol
just trying to integrate it into my single game, I knew the shot under a different name "check smash"
When we playing stick smash the grip is forehand or backhand please tell us
Forehand
0k Thanks
Bruh did no one realize he wasnt blinking
I didn't realize that either 😳😉
Lee zee jia hit this moment just wrist 300kph
Ey ich hab auch Sticksmash Punkte gemacht 🫠
Da hat vermutlich die Kamera ausgesetzt ;)
Err you aren't hitting a steeper smash, you are just hitting it slower so the arc brings it down sooner zzz
