Badminton: JUMP SMASH! Tips

How do you do a PERFECT jump smash??

Well, There are many things that should be considered for you to be able to do a perfect jump smash. First of all, you have get yourself under the shuttlecock at the right time for you to be able to hit it hard and precise. Footwork is very important!

Second, you have to have the right positioning in the air. Imagine yourself being a bowstring with and arrow in the air. See how the bow is constructed and what makes the arrow go very fast. Try seeing yourself unleashing the arrow(shuttle).

Technique is also very important for you to do it the right way.

Maybe the most significant thing is when to use the jump smash!! Do not use it when you are out of balance. Your opponent, especially if he has a strong defense, will with ease outplay you when you do a jump smash at the wrong time.

Lastly, practice jumping and swinging altogether. Practice your jumps alone first, then add the swing and finally ask someone to "feed" you a shuttle so that you can practice your jump smash.
