a lot of it is due to technique. Basically, at any point of the stroke your waist shouldn't be twisting or bending. The movement should come from the hip, knee joints and the feet - the waist (i.e. lower back) is not a real joint and overusing it is likely to lead to lower back injuries (as many...

lol they're everywhere especially at the higher amateur level.....

OX for sure....

Dude, take away your left arm after throwing the ball for your FH serve. Surprised that no one called you out for hiding the serve so blatantly...

I would also add that serve quality is very important here, and 3rd ball attack doesnt necessarily come from short serves. Long serves can be even more limiting for your opponent. With each serve, you have to know various easiest/safest return option and prepare to punish this option with a lot...

First is to train recovery after serve - you have to be in the neutral ready position by the 2nd bounce of the serve. Second is then add in opponent's receive. Start with looping long pushes to say the BH. It has to feel easy and you have to get like 80% landing rate before you even move to...

Badminton a bit more fun because there are more players around and none of the stupid illegal serve + battle of the most confusing pips/anti crap that happens in TT. But TT is more interesting with the spin variations (although badminton has spin nets too it is not anywhere close). Tbh, now...

Funny that FZD received WCQ's serve so poorly and yet won...

On FH, there is insufficient bend at the hips especially being a tall player. Stick your butt out more and keep the body leaned forward. The FH preparation position is basically a lunge BH actually looks better but there's not enough hip rotation power. Arm stroke looks good on both wings, it...

I have something different and more slippery (butterfly super anti), i can play drives against any ball I want. But it wont be as spinny as inverted for sure.

There are some anti rubbers which are a bit like SP for eg the anti speed.

Too much reliance on BH chiquita. The problem with BH chiquita is that there are players who are happy to let him open first and then crush him in the ensuing topspin rally since they are faster than him (mainly Harimoto, Lin Shidong, Felix Lebrun). He needs to develop a bit more well rounded...

Watched a bit and you do look decent. the main thing was that 1) your BH power is not coming from your body but your arm at the moment which limits your BH to just medium pace shots. The power should be coming explosively from your hips. This will allow you to do a lot more from your BH and it...

Yes, you should serve mainly long with a lot of spin variations to pips players - receiving short serves is just a bit too easy with pips/anti. Even long serve receive isnt all that hard with sidespin chopblocks or sideswipes.

You can get LP yourself and join in on the fun lol

Can't believe you didnt include Jeong YoungSik dude.... lol at Oh Junsung being done dirty like that!

For BH players there is one shot that will own a lot of players - it is the BH loop down the line. There are 2 aspects to this, either direct from the opening loop, or a switch during topspin countering battle. I have not seen many ppl which can deal with a quality BH down the line loop. The...

T05 is atrocious at short game - D05 is way better than it. D05 is also good at half shots, wouldnt say it is worse than T05. If you do a lot of pushing (more than say 50% of the time) i think it is not for you tbh. You would need a lot of training to get the short push done. If you like to just...

basically, short game. Top pros can loopkill with any blade even 5 ply wood with tremendous speed and spin. But if you keep popping up short pushes due to bouncy blades then all the loopkill training in the world won't be able to save you from just getting 3rd ball killed. I saw a few pro...

Main thing for me is that D05 is ridiculously durable and this makes it really cheap to play with. I applied tackiness enhancer to my D05 and it plays even better than new after 1.5 yr of play. D05 is very, very good for flicks and topspin-topspin rallies (see for e.g. Harimoto), because it has...
