Major areas to look out for badminton during tournaments
Major areas to look out for badminton during tournaments
When the
season of badminton matches come forth of us, we start getting ready for the
upcoming matches and challenges. Well, just preparing for the match isn’t enough.
You have to focus on the areas which are really neglected which results in a
defeat. I’m going to list the number of areas where you have to look after for
a sure shot win at the tournament.
1. Clears
These
are treated as the most easily done shots. But the reality is that the
perfection which one has to achieve is very important. A good clear opens up
the area and let us get to the base position ready for the upcoming shot. It is
a shot to relax ourselves in between the game. Many rookie players which I have
seen are not that good with their clears. They fall short and very vulnerable
for killer smashes to end the point, the set and the game.
2. Net kills
Taken
as the most easily played shot, net kills are the most vulnerable shots which
are done perfectly are a game winner but if failed then it’s a game loser. Many
players in excitement of seeing the shuttle higher n closer to net, they attempt
the shot, some get successful but others fail at the attempt by hitting the
shuttle in the net and we lose our precious point. Practicing this shot is very
crucial. Get it mastered up and you are done. J
3. Footwork
Till
now the list about conquering and mastering the basics and this is one such
basic, if conquered you’ll be a conqueror of the match and even of the
tournament. A very essential element of badminton. With footwork you’ll be able
to hit and attend any shot, helps in covering more area, makes your reach faster
and you’ll definitely stand high then your opponent.
4. Backhand
Back
hand comes handy when you fall short to reach your shuttle which is at the
backhand area. A powerful backhand tricks the opponent and shows your
superiority in the game. Practice your backhand on a wall to get a firmer and
more precise backhand shot.
5. Placing
While
playing we tend to get lost in the game and lose the chance of ending a point
by just placing the shuttle. I’ve seen Tai Tzu Ying's game and the way she
places the shuttle which leaves the opponent speechless. Which makes her
unpredictable and that’s why she’s the first world ranking women singles
player. You guys need to check out her placing tricks on YouTube.
6. Behavior
Be
amiable and friendly with all and show no fear on your face even if you’re
nervous, that attracts failure to your side. Always be confident while playing
even if you fail, appreciate your opponents game that it outshined you and use
this as a motivation to polish your game. Wear comfortable clothes and a pair
of badminton shoes. You can also wear any indoor game shoes like indoor soccer,
volleyball, basketball etc. to get good traction on wooden and green carpet
courts.
And
that’s it, these were a list of things you have to look at and practice it out
and get your game more appealing and polished to win any tournament ahead. Practice
well and best of luck. J
