Badminton Tips

• In doubles confuse your opponents by hitting the shuttle between them so they are not sure which of them should go for it.
• Teamwork is always needed in doubles. Try to attack at the empty place. Focus at the game.
• Practice a lot, and you will get better.
• If your opponent tips it over the net and runs back, tip it over. It will be hard for him to reverse direction. If he doesn't run back, hit it as far as you can.
• Communication is the key in doubles. Call for shots and tell your partner to 'leave' shots that are going out. Use visual communication, letting the player who cannot see his partner make the tactical decisions. For example, when you are in front of your partner, you decide which shots to take and where to move. Do it quickly, so your partner isn't left guessing.
• Use efficient footwork. You should get to your shots in just one or two steps from a central base. Don't run about the court like a panicked chicken. "Sashay" to your shot, leading with your racquet foot.
• Always try to make your opponents move around the court and they will tire.
• Try to be unpredictable. Vary with different strokes.
• Study your opponent's weaknesses. Is his backhand weak? Does he have difficulty returning smashes to the body, returning drops, moving backwards, etc? In doubles, is one player weaker than the other? Is one better at the net than the other?

Badminton Central Guide to choosing Badminton Equipment

Badminton Central Guide to choosing Badminton Equipment

I Want to write guide on what equipment badminton should focus on. By nature, badminton requires the player to have a few pieces of equipment to engage in the sports, items such as a racket and a shuttlecock are a must for a badminton player. However, often I see many player places the wrong focus on how they spend their money on equipment. A smart badminton player will spend money effectively to maximize their badminton playing experience.

However, before I start, I would like to point out that no badminton equipment can replace proper badminton skills. If you think you can spend US$200 on a racket and you can instantly play better, you are 105% wrong. A good set of equipment can only bring out the potential of a player with good skills. No equipment can fix your bad skills. Instead, I recommend you spend your money on some good coaching lessons. It will make much more difference in your badminton game than a shiny new racket.

I chose to list the equipment in decreasing order of important, in other words, I reckon that the badminton shoes is the most important equipment that a badminton player has, while their clothing is the least important.
