As a badminton enthusiast, everyone has experienced a painful beginner’s stage-you can’t play the ball or you can’t play far with great strength; Clearly clenched the racket, aimed at the incoming ball, and swung it out to either empty or hit the racket frame; Seeing the ball fly over, you can’t run over … Actually, sometimes, this doesn’t prevent you from enjoying the fun badminton brings you, but if you want to be the focus on the court, then what I want to say next is what you must know on the way to badminton growth.
one
Hold the racket correctly and relax your hands.
……
First of all, it should be clear that whether the grip is correct or not is the most important basis for playing badminton well.
Our grip and clap must be divided into two parts, one is the index finger and thumb, and the other is the last three fingers. The main function of the last three fingers is to hold the racket. Maybe you will ask, "My grip is correct and tight, but why can’t I hit the ball far?" "So Xiaobian tells you-relax, don’t use your strength to hold the racket, you just need to hold the racket without making it fall.
The forefinger and thumb have two functions. The first function is to rotate the racket [that is, the conversion between forehand and backhand], and the second function is to serve as the fulcrum of our racket strength [the forehand fulcrum is the thumb and the backhand fulcrum is the forefinger]. This concept is particularly important.
2
Control the racket face and start from a straight line.
……
In the process of badminton racket swing, the racket face is changing all the time, but the racket will have one time, which is also the only opportunity to turn positive this time, that is, when the racket face is facing the opponent’s court, or the direction of the ball going back and forth. Badminton is hit back only when the racket turns positive, and the effect is the best time relative to the racket face, because at this time, the racket face and the speed direction are in a vertical state, that is, in this state, the energy of the racket is transmitted to the ball most efficiently, and there is no angle between the speed direction of the racket and the line of the ball, and there is no dispersion of power and loss of energy. Therefore, as far as the racket face is concerned, it is the most reasonable that the badminton is hit when the racket turns positive. In this process, don’t blindly pursue the line of hitting out, start with straight hitting, and you will soon be able to grasp the timing of controlling the racket face.
three
It’s easy to hit the sweet spot.
……
The grip is correct, and the direction of the racket face can be mastered skillfully. The next thing to do is to hit the incoming ball correctly and make it fly to your opponent with the fastest speed, strength and angle. So how can we do it? The first thing to know is-the sweet area of noodles.
The so-called sweet zone | is the best hitting zone on the racket face. Control the point with the fastest swing speed at the moment when the racket turns positive, and make the ball hit the sweet zone of the racket, so as to completely sublimate your strength, release all the strength transmitted by your body, concentrate on one point, explode, and let the ball violently rush to the opponent’s court, so that the meaning of your swing and whole body action can exist to complete your masterpiece.
four
Strong combined force, inertia plus braking
……
In the process of hitting the ball, we don’t rely on a certain joint or a certain part to hit the ball hard. The ball can be hit because of the inertia of the racket, that is, badminton is hit by the inertia of the racket. The greater the inertia force of the beat, the higher the speed will be. And if we want the beat to have speed, we must exert strength on it to speed up the beat.
Of course, a single force is certainly not as effective as a combined force to accelerate, so it is required that all joints and parts of our body can be transmitted. If the strength of all joints and parts of our body is to be transmitted, we need to have a scientific and reasonable action structure and power generation method. The whole body’s strength is transmitted to the beat and concentrated on one point to explode, and the moment of this explosion is actually the braking process. The moment of hitting the incoming ball is the instantaneous braking, and then the whole swing action is completed. After continuous practice, I have mastered this point. I believe Xiaobian, you will be able to return the ball with good speed and strength.
five
Experience bones, joints and muscles, and control strength is easy.
……
Our muscles have two states: contraction and relaxation, and the direction is only inward when contracting, and it is only released at both ends when relaxing.
Putting muscles on bone joints will act on our bone joints.
How the muscles are placed and where they go determines the direction of the skeletal joints.
What muscles work when you go and what muscles work when you come back, as long as you pay more attention and experience the muscle force of each movement, even if you are not a sports major, you can know what kind of action force is reasonable.
When you understand these things, you will know how to control your power without telling them.
six
Relax and work smoothly, and the power will be transmitted step by step.
……
If you want power to emanate from your body, you must pave a way for it, let it come out, and clear this road.
The first thing you should do is to relax your body, because our muscles do the most work when they contract from the natural state to the tightest, so the output energy is greater, and the transmission of power in the body is also soft and continuous.
For the forehand power transmission, when you relax, you will feel the left hand pressing down, and the power will go from the left arm to the chest, to the right shoulder, to the right arm to the elbow joint, to the forearm to the wrist!
Therefore, beginners should first learn to relax your whole body muscles. When you start to learn the high ball, you should first learn to swing your arm. When you relax, your strength can be transmitted well. Therefore, you should practice more with your bare hands or empty racket, constantly strengthen the feeling of this kind of power transmission and increase your muscle memory.
seven
Joints should be bridged, and wrists should not bend downward.
……
Why do you say that joints need to build bridges? This is the first point, because the transmission of power is a wave-like process, but our bones are hard and joints are separated from each other. If we want to hit the wall where the power is not in the joints, we must build bridges between the joints, that is, keep the joints consistent and let the power go all the way along the direction of the joints and finally get it.
When it comes to keeping the joints anastomosed, we should emphasize the wrist. When we play, whether it is forehand or backhand, whether it is in front of the net or in the backcourt, the wrist can only rely on the racquet from left to right, and then twist it back to the position of the fist.
Once your wrist bends down, all your strength will hit the wall when you come here. If your whole body is well coordinated, the transmitted power is quite large, and all this energy is borne by your wrist. It is false to say that you won’t get hurt.
The only time the wrist is allowed to be slightly flat is when grabbing the backhand ball in front of the net. In order to ensure the consistency of the action and give the opponent the concept that the direction is unknown, the racket face should be flat. At this time, the wrist is allowed to bend down a little, but at this time, it is not forced. If it is necessary, the wrist will return to the position of the fist.
eight
Use your left hand as a sight, and keep your balance with it.
……
In fact, when your power is gradually smooth, your level can go to another level.
To the next level, we only need to remember one very core thing, that is, balance.
Let’s first review the action structure and force principle of the high-distance ball. It is not difficult to see that the role of the left hand is extremely important. It can make us hit the ball twice with half the effort, double the strength and add points to the action.
When hitting the high and long ball, the left hand has the process of speeding up twice. The first time is the combined speed-up effect of the left hand and the right foot. The second time is the recovery process, which is actually to maintain the balance of the body [and remember that the left hand recovery and the right hand swing are in the opposite direction and on the same plane], which invisibly gives the right hand a continuous acceleration.
Therefore, if you want to hit a strong ball, and your strength can be sent out at any time, the key point is that your left hand should be kept up, keep your body balanced, and slightly press back to maintain a certain tension in the chest line.
nine
Grab the hitting point quickly and cheat people in front of the net.
……
First of all, if you want to fool your opponent, you must grab the hitting point at the beginning. Because the sooner you grab the hitting point, the more time you have left to do the next move, and the more you can observe the opponent’s movements.
Secondly, the consistency of the action is high. Every time you shoot, the action is the same, so that your opponent can’t figure out which direction you are going to play, first fool him into fainting, and then clean him up.
Third, the most critical and only hard requirement is that you should have excellent network technology. It is also what we will focus on next.
10
The front of the net is very important, and it is controlled by your fingers and wrists.
……
The first point is to pay full attention to the movement of fingers and wrists, that is, bending and twisting. There is also the application of the forearm’s [internal and external spin racket] and [internal and external spin force], because these two parts are the main body of small movements and great strength, which can play a role of four or two thousand pounds if used well.
Here, let’s review the action points of bending and twisting force again.
◆ First, the thumb rests on the small oblique edge, and the tiger’s mouth is empty, and the last three fingers lift the end of the racket handle away from the upper thenar. When one finger exerts force, there is room for acceleration on the palm of the hand.
◆ Then, the wrist leans to the left (both forehand and backhand wrists lean to the left in front of the net), and when backhand, the forearm rotates to lead the racket. At this time, it is important to remember that the elbow should point to the sky, so as to make full use of the stable and clear direction of the upper forearm’s outstretched arm when hitting the ball, and the effect is excellent.
In forehand, there is a very tense angle range between the forearm and the forearm when shooting, that is, the forearm is 115 to 120.
◆ When the arm is in tension, it means that the arm is strong and powerful, and there is a choice between sending and not sending.
In addition, in order to make the net more deterrent, there must be more balls to choose from at the moment of shooting.
Therefore, it is essential to hook, push, rub and release the net in front of the net. This also shows that the amount of information in front of the net is far greater than that in the forehand high ball.
11
Return the ball with high quality and strengthen memory to practice.
……
A high-quality return ball should include three elements: ball speed, landing point and direction.
A ball can be regarded as a high-quality ball only if it has the above elements at the same time, and these three elements need to be realized through skillful manipulation and skillful control of strength. Skilled manipulation is the effective coordination and cooperation between the body and the hand, and a good combination of the two can hit a high-quality ball. This requires fans to repeatedly practice returning the ball with the same line and the same landing point, constantly improve the accuracy and stability of the ball path, enhance the technical feeling of each stroke, form muscle memory, and constantly strengthen this memory.
12
Strength and speed complement each other.
……
1. Strength is a transmission process, so it is necessary to practice the cooperation of all parts, so that the back part can accept the power transmitted from the front, and on this basis, the strength of that part can continue to go up, so that the strength can get bigger and bigger, and the speed can get bigger and bigger.
2. The direction of power wandering must be smooth, and the arc transition must be regular and even. Remember that if the arc transition is too fast, the power will derail and will be discounted;
4. The center of gravity of the badminton racket should be kept as far as possible on the force plane of the arm swing. If it deviates from this force plane, the stability of the racket will be poor, and the ball will be as inaccurate as a shotgun.
Finally, once again, as important as the throat is the wrist. Remember not to bend the wrist during the swing, and the index finger and thumb must be the fulcrum of strength.
13
Footwork depends on consciousness, and the center of gravity should be lowered.
Badminton footwork to come out, we must practice the hand skills, skills, combined with footwork, badminton footwork to come out a very important consciousness is:
1. The center of gravity must be kept low, especially when starting and reversing.
2. Because the right foot is in front of every shot, and the last step of hitting the ball before half time is stepping, it is necessary to develop the toe to turn outward and the right heel to land first.
