Smash

By www.pradeepsheoran.blogspot.com
Today i am telling you about badminton smash.Smash is various types like forehand smash,backhand smash,jump smash,down the line smash etc.A smash is the most power shot played in the badminton,it can be played at the speed up to 400km/h..Just imagine if you smash at 400km/h in your opponent court,will he able to return it,on my view absolutely not,so how to smash-

1.Position-You need to get your feet in proper position
.This means move your feet fast, it’s vital that you get in to the best position possible before you attempt to hit the shot, so this means getting those feet moving quickly which you can most easily do by staying on the balls of your feet when the shuttle is in play, NOT on your heels.Use a wide sideways stance with the rear foot parallel to the back line.


2.Shoulders-Position your shoulders and arms correctly
 As you’re moving your feet in to position you also need to begin setting your shoulders in readiness to hit the shot.You do this by raising your Non racket arm towards the shuttle and dropping your racket shoulder a little to create a position with the shoulders and elbows in a line looking over the front arm.Your racket arm should be bent at the elbow with your wrist cocked.


3.Weight- Transfer your weight on to your back leg
 Pushing off the back foot and twisting your body towards your opponent, straightening your knees at the same time. Your hips should move before shoulders, not after.Reach the shuttle at highest point as you can reach.

Basic Precautions-

*Relax your grip on racket before contact to shuttle,because it's hard to flick your wrist fast if your forearm is tense.

*Land with a wide legs, placing the non racket foot down and then the racket foot in quick succession.
