Very good discussion and the film work is great. The dark background really helps to see the shuttle and motions. I especially like the thoughts on why some shots are easier than others. This helps me guide beginners through the tougher but important shots like the deep forehand serve. The ideas on spin-shots are a big help. Thanks for posting!

For an amateur the forehand serve is sometimes surprisingly difficult, seems a lot easier to serve short with the short backhand. Nice that you mentioned it. Also, I have trouble visualizing the perfect smash and/or clear because I don't know how far beside me should the shuttle be ideally, over my racket hand shoulder, a little bit further to the side or a lot to the side. If someone could comment then I can sleep easier. xD Thank you for the video, Tobias. Good as always.

shout out to Tai Tzu Ying :D

Good motivation first thing in the morning! Thanks.

nice video, tobias. not so much because of the difficulty 'ranking' of shots, but because you covered a lot of technical points here and demonstrated a lot of nice technique. i have a comment about the spinning net shot. i see many players using a lot of arm movement to generate spin, and i have never liked this method because it is not easy to reproduce. even when we watch your expert coach do it with his flat undercutting of the shuttle, many of his shots are very high and would be instantly killed in doubles and some of them in singles. for me the spinning net shot begins with a lunge position, keeping the wrist high and angling the racket toward the shuttle. the spin and push over the net happens by moving the lunge forward very slightly but quickly, and there is no arm or wrist movement at all. this way allows you to push the shuttle right over the tape, even when your opponent is guarding the net, and it often produces shots that trip lightly over the tape and fall down along the net. no, you dont get the shuttle flipping over itself several times before it crosses the net, but that isnt necessary when you are getting teh shuttle to the tape sooner and the flipping happens on the other side of the tape. moreover, because you are using large muscles with very simple movement in the legs instead of much smaller and more complex muscle movement in the upper body, it is much easier to reproduce the effect than using your arm. the lunge position also preloads your legs to recover instantly and respond explosively to any cross reply

IMO "forehand reverse slice from forehand rearcourt " is NUMBER 9.Very hard to control shuttle , it often goes outside or hit the net .Thank you very much.

thank you for another great vid.

Love the video when you mentioned tai tzu ying Big fan

I found the forehand reverse slice very easy to learn for some reason, but I definitely agree with the backhand slice, I can't seem to get the right stroke or timing doing it.

Loved this! Danke!

@ 8:02 I never thought about that. Thanks a lot.

Great video as always! No 10 is just way too hard 😂😂

Fantastic as always.

Hi Tobias, please show what are the main and key exercises for strengthening the muscles, ligaments and tendons of the forearm and hand, in order to develop biting blows and at the same time the arm does not become heavy and so that the forearm does not gain muscle mass. Thank you, with respect

Just realised u upgraded to the arcsaber 11 pro! Great video tobi

Hey Tobias ... Can you make a video on different kinds of legal serves that are accepted in international tournaments. I specifically want to know backhand low serve - how many/much time I can move my racket hand along with shuttle for a legal serve. Thanks in advance.😀

Could you make a video of various types of returning the net shot from easy to pro like I always see on double? I noticed they are so many types of returning it but I saw only net kill tutorial only. Thanks

Your couch seems so nice!

Hey man big fan

really nice video mate but i reckon you mustve forgetten about the notorious backhand smash?! cant seem to find it in your video

NF700! Don't you feel some lack of power for the smash? (I know that the Olympic champion in MD plays it and also Intanon but still would like to read you opinion also)

3:43 - " How did that happen? Is that the same shuttle we were playing with?"🤣

Huh? Tobi in the video u have the Nanoflare 700, but i always saw u using the arcsaber 11. did you change the rackets? And another question: Did you try the new Arcsaber 11 pro?

It's weird but the backhand clear, esp cross-court, was the main shot I failed to do well, probably because I didn't practise it enough. I can execute all the others above plus the backhand straight, cross-court and jumping smashes. There are many more shots that top players do that I can't, but then again I'm not a professional. 😄

The pending and fakery below net is the hardest. Like Lin Dan does, he reaches shuttle early and when you thought he's gonna drive it, he plays long at the last second

How difficult do you think the backhand spin/topple serve commonly used in doubles is? It basically negates any aggressive return of service unless the opponent has great observation and reaction.

Back hand smash. Cross court defence behind the body.

The cross court backhand drop is such a "get out of jail free card" for many players that the ability to reverse slice this into a straight drop just throws opponents. Unfortunately, the level of timing and subtlety of racket movement is insanely difficult to get consistently right.

Great video! Can you make a video about stick smash? a Fan from VietNam :D

According to me, toughest were late backhand & attending spin drops. Because all other shots are just our own options. For ex. we dont need to do a backhand reverse slice in a match. We can attempt any other shot. Only late backhand & spin drop is created by your opponent. Both have different strategies. One should attend a bit late & another one shouldnt be too late. I am just intermediate player. Its my opinion. Advanced players may have different opinion.

The hardest shot? When the shuttle just drop after touching the net and rolls over… that’s no 1 for me

Hey, ich habe mal ein ganz komische frage. Hast du eigentlich eine Idee wie man die badmintonfelder rutschfester macht? Bei uns ist das Problem dass die Felder immer so dreckig sind und leider ein zu hohes Risiko darstellt das man sich verletzt. Und ich wollte dich mal fragen ob es ein bestimmten Reinigungs Produkt gibt dass man das lösen kann.

I think clear is pretty difficult..and also late forhend in the rear court..:(

backhand slice drop shot Chong Wei / T.Tzu Ying very hard to do 😅.

backhand reverse slice!!!

I wouldn’t mind a full tutorial on how to do the reverse slice backhand drop :)

What about forehand lift? And would you rank it easier than clear?

why is it that most pros badminton rackets make that metallic "Ting" sound but mine does not ? Will really appreciate if someone can answer this question. has been frustrating me for a long time as I also want that sweet metallic "Ting" sound but no matter which string or racket I use, its almost a flat sound always. Thank you.

Can you share a diet plan for badminton players mens ...and warm up and warm down excercise

in the smash, there actually has to be that quick turn in the upper body all the way to the wrist thanks

What handle are u using

Overhead cross smash is the most difficult shot in my opinion

Did you change your racket 🤔🤔🤔?

I can make a video of top 10 unforced errors and rank them from Easy-to-Hardest 😂

Red colour

What racket are you using??

What is racket name

Smash is definitely harder than clear. 1. Smash need more power (more is better) 2. Smash need more control (above the net but not outside the line). 3. Smash need better timing.

The backhand smash should be at the tenth place

That is the Germany national team's coach

Easiest is block shot
