BAdminton Footwork

'Hi all,

'

'I would like to share some badminton footwork of a Single player. I hope this will be very helpful for enthusiastic players.

'

'Single play is always not easy because the player has to cover basically the whole court by himself/herself. He has to delicate his play to make sure

'that his opponents follow his rhythm and ensure that he is playing with the right setup/strategy so that he will run less, save more energy and win the games.

'

'Besides having a wrong strategy, another problem is the footwork. Having a wrong footwork will result not having the ability to cover the full area

'and also the ability to return a dropshot, smash or a clear back to the opponent with good quality. And the player will always feel that he is constantly a step

'behind his opponents.

'I have attached a diagram of the proper single player stance (a pity it’s for the right handed player).

'we can see from the diagram that there are basically 3 highlighted directions that we have to take note and of course not forgetting the most important direction,

'the backhand corner!!!

'As we can see from the diagram, the start point (orange circle) is NOT directly in the middle of the court. And its not an error.
Going to the forehand front corner

'has the longest distant while going to the forehand backcourt has the shortest distant. In other words, going to the front will have a longer

'distant compare to going back out. The reasons are simple,

'1.) it’s easier for a player to run forward then running backwards. Thus it’s more important for players to position himself in the "ORANGE CIRCLE".

'2.) Trying to return a backhand clear Footwork_badminton.doc (203 KB, 下载次数: 567)

with a back hand is not an easy job. Thus position yourself in the "ORANGE CIRCLE" and you will have time to

'Move back to the back hand corner and return a clear with an overhead forward clear.

'A person might ask what happen if your opponent (also a right handed) try to smash your forehand side from his forehand?

'As we can see, the LINE1(DARK BLUE COLOR) has a shortest distant compare to LINE 2 (DARK GREEN). So if the smash is line 2 then the defending player should have time to move right

'to the forehand to defend the smash.

'Be it a cross court smash/dropshot, the player will have a longer distant to move himself but due to the longer flight distant of the shuttle,

'the player should have the ability/time to move and retrieve the shot.

'The above applies for a backhand play and also for a left-handed player. Have fun and enjoy the digestion.
