Why are you so abusing, as a beginner badminton player,I appreciate the help of his instructional videos.

This is a noob friendly video, but you are missing some points. For example,

#1 Your grip is wrong

#2 Your point of contact against the birdie is wrong

#3 Your non-racket hand should be also up, pointing towards the birdie

#4 When you push your elbow, the ideal point is as high as you can by your ear

#5When you hit, the racket should be sideways, then, at the moment of impact, twist and snap your wrist, adding more power to the shot.

Hope it helps. (I really recommend you to fix your grip)

it is like tai chi....

@dchchen because it's titled "advanced badminton techniques." in all seriousness though, you just need to know the three shots, drop, clear, smash. smash is perhaps the hardest to learn at first, and dropping, but hitting the shuttle should be natural...

Advanced is meant to be sarcastic.

good for beginners...which is generally the youtube audience. if your pro and playing at a high level, ytf are you checkin out techniques on youtube? go to a coach.
