Badminton Smash: How your elbow should be set for a smash (Part 1)

Coach Lee jae Bok shows how a player should set his racket arm elbow before smash. This clips deals with the direction of the end of the elbow. The power is generated from the elbow not from turning the body. If the elbow is set in the wrong direction the power goes in the wrong direction and accuracy will be lost. Most of players are not aware of the important role of having the correct elbow posture.

Good video. I am a tennis player and I am used to pulling arm sideways and twisting at the hips which he said we should not do for badminton.

@randysite Yes, I do believe that way with reason that if you turn your vision and the direction of your power has to be changed on the way resulting lose power and the control. Lee

@cernovlasy Please review very closely, slowly and carefully what he did with his forearm between 0:39 and 0:41. He supinated his forearm when he pulled his racket back as part of the set up, before he pronate it forward again. If this is still not clear, I'd suggest you visit a website called badminton forum (without the space) dot com and ask people there to examine this video.
