To be honest, every player with a decent level of play do this in their game. and the anticipation is not only the secret to the forehand smash, but also the main reason that you can be early to the shuttle and be able to hit a good quality shot. what you probably wont notice in this video is that when lin dan is not waiting for the lift to his forehand, he will be anticipating other shots to come (and if it comes he will punish the opponent by taking it early in that corner). that means that this video tells how to be early to every single corner of the court. one of shuttle flash's videos is called "badminton is anticipation" and that is so true. the biggest difference between players on a higher level is: 1. Shot quality. 2. Cover less corners and anticipate the opponents shots. The second one is the most important as that makes it much easier to have a good shot quality. So what do we learn from that? The most important thing to learn as a badminton player is how to cover less corners and read your opponents shots! Something to think about for all players out there that only practise on speed and power in their training and forget about the most important things.

Corresponding to the last video "STRATEGY : Lin DAN against LEE Chong Wei", I find that, when the shuttle is at the net, Lee is more intended to move toward the net and get the net play; However, Lin Dan is more intended to step back for smashing. You cannot say which one is better. But I think that may be a reason why we sometimes see Lee is late for the deep forehand corner, and cannot do more variations.

it is a normal footwork for every left handed players but his anticipation to opponent's shots is very good and his shot making ability let him stand unique.

PG. LCW, taufik all have great footwork. What LD has over them is mental smartness and toughness which make LD look like he has good foot work. PG and LCW actually work harder but LD win because he out think them.

thank you shuttle flash. this is the best video i want to watch .

Nice video, bro. Just one more thing to add in. I think his incredible anticipation also plays a huge contribution to his footwork and his awesome forehand smash. When you watch him play, you can see that it seems like he can guess what's coming up next, and that makes him dominant the play.

Love your videos Shuttle Flash.

amazing analysis ! please keep going ! thanks for your sharing !

Should have put colored shoes like your LCW video lol. Other than that, awesome video, you're the best :)

Thanks for another great video!

Great video and thanks for making it i learned it

What a nice video!!! Please keep going!!!!!

Very good these videos analyzes. Congratulations to the channel, keep it up. Hugs here from Brazil that likes and shares your videos. Keep it up.

It just shows that Lindan's legs are freakishly strong. I am not sure I learn much else

I've been playing badminton for about 1.5 years now. I got into it because I needed to rehabilitate my ankle since I sprained it. I found myself addicted to the sport, learned, and improved at a very fast rate. A month ago I finally hit a plateau but your footwork videos have recently made me reevaluate myself allowing me to improve yet again in a short period of time. Even my friends who have been playing for 10 years think I'm doing an amazing job (I'm no pro but I definitely think I'm doing really well - enough to call myself more than an amateur/beginner at this point). Thank you for these videos; without them, I wouldn't have been able to get where I am now. My next thing I want to focus on now is anticipating shots instead of just covering vulnerable spots.

you forgot to uncheck that textbox :3

i want more like this, thanks brooo

Thanks for your analysis

nice n informative, plzzz make a longer video on d same subject"Lin Dan footwork" and plzz also add some more emphasis on d backhand toss, this would really help

You can also anticipate on the back hand side, but your opponent's shot needs to be a cross court lift/push. By anticipating, you don't have to move too early, but after netting, your first shuffle back already gives you enough momentum to do a backward movement and then smash. The key not to turn your body because you won't be fast enough, but you do move your right leg straight back.

id like to see more of this vídeos especially from LCW and LD, comparation of LD and kento momota would also be cool

keep making these ones......nice one

Wow Thank you Nice information

I, badminton, they came for 12 years, but there are no cases that I played a game overseas yet.

amazing analysis :-)

Nice ! You're more analytical in your every content now.

Thanks, really heplful. I learned from other trainer and she told that it is better if we put forefoot ahead a little bit. But after watching this video, I have another think :))

Here is a stunning video for everyone play badminton.

I have been using this. Its useful

THE BADMINTON LEGEND LIN DAN

Could you possibly do one for Viktor Axelsen? Great upload tho! Keep it up!

Lin dan has best footwork

Thank you !! Can make you a vidéo about legendary footwork on woman ! :D

look at LCW racket at 5:25. so flex

Great video! May I ask which video editing software you use?

The best channel klip badminton RIP :(

Lindan the best player ever badminton. Legend

nice 1

Thks buddy

Thnx

please make video analysis about hidayat backhand

Very helpful video, although the text could be made more readable.

nice

chong wei and lin dan is forever rivals

Is Peter Gate really wrong footed at 02:20? He is right-handed and he could be preparing for net shots. Any comments are welcome.

please more

OMGGGGG!!! You are so cool!

you should show this video for LCW earlier :)))))

please keep video steady! the panning/zooming (e.g. 3:15) makes me feel like I just got off a roller coaster. or had way too much to drink.

Muốn đạt được sự hoàn hảo trong cầu lông cần đạt đủ 3 điều kiện. Những gì bạn thấy của Lin Dan chỉ là bề ngoài của bước chân.

1:16 someone forgot to uncheck before rendering

Taufik backhand please!!!!!

LIN IS MY FAVOURITE

well, i think this is also working because hes a lefthander, so players play to the backhand more often and he's ready for that. i don't know if it would work for righthanders in such a good way

I heard a coach saying that your racket(right) foot should be half a step in front of ur non racket foot

3:28 so efficient

he does it so many times. It's almost an anti-pattern. Generally you want your racket leg to be forward. God.

我现在才来热爱羽毛球~太晚了

actually our right foot should be half a step in front of our left leg for a right handed player...How does lin dan play with his racket foot behind him

red color for font is not visible at all please review next time..and zoom for description

Viktor use that footwork too

Why no coloured shoes? :c

greta video can i know the music name

yeessss

he walks.

Text is now editable

What song name

At 1:19, there is a text is now editable. Make sure to remove that in later videos if not done on purpose.

Dear seniors, is it really not okay if i always always use anticipated footwork?

Song?

It’s called split step…

May I ask u something?right-handed even can use this technique?

lcw does the same thing

Red colour is an awful choice for text. You can hardly see what it says.

Lin dans secret is his training nothing else You gotta have power in legs that's it

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah lindan pro bah

wat a bs
