Play Badminton Like a Real Pro


So at this point in time maybe you have fallen in love with badminton and now you really are serious about getting better and you would like to act and play like a real professional. So you would start with your mentality keep in mind that you are a true pro and a true gentleman in and out the badminton court.

A lot of difference can be made if you can have the privilege to be trained by a coach because someone will be there to watch over you and to train and correct your techniques.

Now if you are ready to take the challenge and become a real pro here are the things that you might and must need to do;

Improve Balance


Yes of course this may be one of the most important part of your game, to improve your body balance because it can be so hard for you if you can’t have a good balance in the court. How can you make your shot even more powerful if you don’t have a balance?

The next part is when you work a powerful swing, you will largely likely lose balance. Then subconsciously you won’t hit and try to hit the shuttle as strong and as hard as possible because you know that you’ll lose your balance.

Try working those muscles, do lunges and all that can improve your core and balance. Experienced badminton players will know how to prepare handling of their Non-Racquet arm to continue balance the whole period. Stretch vetoed your non-racquet arm to counter the mass of your badminton racquet and the force of your swing.

Correct Forehand

Beginners, Intermediate, and Advanced or Professional players would know this that the forehand stroke is used most often in a badminton match because that is the most common strokes. So it is important to work and correct your forehand stroke skill to be a real pro.

Spend time on the training using this stroke until it became very comfortable and accurate about it. After mastering the shot then you can now work on other types of shots like free, decrease shot, and smash. 

You can also asked a friend to strike the shuttle for you so you can also improve and develop your after person shots like leap smash, attacking free, and badminton drives.

Enhanced Wrist


So as you look for a training center or a coach this phrase is always incorporated that the badminton is all about the wrist. Well this might be a cliché but I think everyone would agree. The power of your shots comes from your wrist and your swing and not on your arm.

In maximizing your badminton wrist action is to not grip your racquet too tightly because this is the secret for your smash power. Take note that when you are holding your racket too tightly, you are basically tensing your muscles, which hold back the engagements of your wrist. Therefore you should practice and train to hit the shuttle with a quick flicking wrist action and you won’t be able to do that when you hold your badminton racquet too tightly.

Relax Your Muscles

Badminton is like any other competitive sports out there and if you want to look and be like a pro then you should be ready with your training. Badminton is a game of speed, agility, power, and accuracy. So relax your muscles and do everything you can to relax your muscles before the match and try to stretch and warm up before any match.

The next thing that you need to practice and to look good in the badminton court is the leap smash and the secret about this is it comes from the speed of the player’s swing and wrist deed.

Focus on fast motions, train to be flexible and always remember to relax your body muscles to act better.

Basics Is The Key


So this is pretty basic because how can you go further and develop even more if you don’t know and gives importance to the basics. You cannot progress with your badminton skills is you do not know well the basics. 

So basics is the real key

Know that it is awkward to generate a powerful shot if you are swinging your badminton racquet wrongly. The next basic thing that you need to know is that you should know how to defend and what stance you should make. 

The last thing that you can do to completely look and be a real professional in and out the court is by having and using the correct gears and equipment it is not because it is the badminton racquet of your idol that would be perfect for you. That is a big NO, you should know what is comfortable and what’s not for you and your apparels should also not hinder you from moving freely in the badminton court.


There are a lot of ways to get the perfect badminton gears and equipment, you can shop badminton online there are a lot of shops out there that offers a lot of good deals so make sure to take advantage of that and complete your badminton gears and equipment. 

Being a professional is not only skills and competitiveness but it is also the looks. So kill those stokes and kill everyone else with your style.

Keep on dominating the game!

  2. When the world saw Jianzi for the first time, they were also blinded from something else, for a very long time...twas about 2000 years ago in China, after the guided badminton sages from all across the world would have passed on the badminton art to their disciples who would have sold it to kings across the globe..there were great world tournaments held in tremendous secrecy for kings in selected regions on Earth...it was done covertly and in secrecy for the chosen kings, sages and world badminton legends, on whose terms it was done...it is rumoured that badminton was invented before mankind and practiced by very ancient cultures (4000 years ago).. It was said that the king of China created a secret campaign of his own with an advanced blend of kung-fu and hosted a great tournament for their country and invited any 'bound to secrecy' player across the world who dared to enter... the grand prize was the Golden Goose (about 1000lbs of pure moulded gold)..however, all the players were contracted to lose a finger on their non-badminton hand for the king, should they be eliminated from the tournament (male singles & doubles, one gold goose per winner)..most would have played five tournaments (held every 4 yrs) until their retirement (some players would have also went the distance and managed with just three fingers, though no one losing 7 fingers ever won...(in rumoured text it was mentioned of a very famous guy that lost his five non-playing fingers before winning the goose.. he struggled with balance but overcame).. Jianzi is what the king and his council created to distract the other investigators, spies and informants who entered China from various parts of the globe seeking the new ball and pastime that was taking the oracles by storm...because they could not get underground access in the other countries..twas about 1000 years after when the word broke out from China ...and about 500 years after when it was printed and women around the world started playing. It is not known exactly how many players took part in the tournament, but recent sport skeptics have assumed that the tournament venue and participants were at least 5 enter the dragons (sworn secret, sealed and vanished underground)...there is no evidence of bloodlines, manuscripts, technical secrets, philosophy and match records to this day, but it is said that China won most world tournaments. There is also insufficient historical evidence of it ever being discontinued in China, while there was no remaining underground evidence of it in the other kingdoms/countries ...It is said they invented the metal racquet and metal strings (alloyed and very similar to modern-day poly strings) like their musical instruments and the shuttle by conical mathematics and applied aerodynamics (the goose shuttles were 'the greatest secret of all' in China (due to world secrecy orders), and Jianzi kept it well hidden...Jianzi was also adopted in badminton warmups and movement/coordination training and also used for foot badminton..which was the best-kept secret of Jianzi as not many knew it could be played over a net and in the sacred lines of court..it was within the badminton secret and not exposed until later in time -- (all goose shuttles were burnt after tournaments and specially hidden after practice)..China applied Kung-Fu arts (3500 years ago) to play badminton and it was only until badminton became perfected, things got dangerous for the sport. Can u guess the ancient Chinese name for badminton? bing- bang? kung-paow!? Every nation had a different name, but the rules were decided by the world council and were the same. It may seem that some kings of nations knew other kings of some nations centuries before their people knew each other, but I have no proof.
