Struggling to get power and distance in your badminton overhead clears? You might be making two common badminton mistakes that are holding you back. In this video, we break down why a "hand-heavy" grip and poor elbow positioning can ruin your swing, and I show you exactly how to fix them for more effortless badminton power.

We cover:

Why a tight grip cuts off your kinetic energy.
The "squishy forearm" test for a relaxed swing.
How driving your elbow up (not down) creates the perfect contact point.
The benefits of effortless power for your footwork and injury prevention.

Sir your badminton tutorial has helped me improve my clear and smash. Ur insistence on high elbow and arm pronation has helped me improve my smash zI am elderly but my smashing has been appreciated by my opponents. I believe in finger power my grip is very lose unlike the tight grip which has help to change my for occasions. Thanks a lot

Thank you for the video. I've already learnt to get a powerful clear and an easygoing drop from previous videos, but it's useful to see another good explanation 👍
Could you please give a similar explanation how to improve backhand clear? I struggle with that shot a lot, and my opponents know it 😂

I really liked the use of animations!! It really helps to visualise what you mean!! People are afraid of AI but if it helps to gain knowledge and it is checked by you so it is correct and it helps you to make better videos, go for it!!
I think this video serves as a good reminder and a learning tool

I learned a lot from your videos - thank you so much, it's invaluable. But here’s what I’ve run into - I don’t think it’s a common problem, but this is what’s happening for me: I’m almost not using my hand and forearm rotation and the entire power comes from a squeeze of the relaxed wrist. As a result, I’ve developed chronic pain in my wrist, and now I’m trying the opposite - a tight grip to use more forearm and body rotation instead of wrist.

Thanks for another great video. Where are you located?
Can I come and get some training?

@ArnavMishra-q1i 1 month ago

As usual, beautiful and descriptive advice and coaching and I am glad I'll be able to learn more from you because of AI but at the same time the AI is kinda dramatic and takes away from the one-on-one and down to earth vibe in your vids like that one time you taught us Binhs grip while you were renovating your AIRBNB or something. But in the right way it'll be the dream coaching

This theory that the tension is max at the moment of impact actually made me unable to progress for years. What i found is actually the max tension is before the impact, and you let the racket soak all that tension to accelerate for a few cm before hitting the bird, naturally without effort.
I've always wondered why some people made it look effortless, and this was the answer for me. The contact is a bit further front than you'd think, at least for me, and when the impact happens there is no longer any tension or effort, it's just a continuation of the racket head accelerating

One thing i notice is when i try to push off from the ground with racquet leg and rotate the hips and contact the shuttle infront of my body i feel i am generating more power.Grip, forearm rotation are important but leg drive , point of contact also needs to emphasised more

@priyashankar1585 1 month ago

Hi thanks for this. Was helpful. Also can you guide on how ‘not’ to bring the hand first without the hip rotation, as pointed out in the video. TIA

Can we use the elbow at down position for half smash?

@hasananwaar 3 weeks ago

Should the index finger be higher or lower than the thumb for maximum pronation in V grip ?

@pleasework2092 4 weeks ago

I feel like the video is great, I think the AI editing is smooth in execution byt what it is lacking is in the planning in itself. I feel like it is maybe doing too much in the video and that may be distracting to some people, so if the ai editing was more subtle with less going on it would be perfect

@miscellaneouslife6983 1 month ago

I want to ask a question sir
Suggestion for winning strategy
Should I show my full potential to win a match in 2 sets.or I have to take risk for the third set to try my opponent tired first??
