Badminton Swing for Beginners

Welcome back to expertvillage.com. What we are going to do a basic swing with a one, two,three, count. Make sure the base position we have learned level to the legs side ways, bend the knees a little bit. One we would be side ways. Same concept of pulling a bow of arrow. Shoulder needs to be level. The grip should be in the proper forehand position. Left hand will serve like a guide when hitting a shuttlecock. Left hand is very important for timing and eye contact on the shuttlecock. Two would be the point of contact of the shuttlecock, which is one o'clock position. These would be a twelve o'clock, one o'clock position. You got to make sure in every stroke in badminton one o'clock position would be the proper way of hitting the shuttlecock, and then follow through swinging down. Follow through is very important cause we need the weight transfer, and the arm power on hitting the stroke and going back to the base position. We are going to hit it faster this time. One, two and go back to base. Then moving on to the next step, we are going to learn more different shots and demonstrate the one we learned today. The one,two,three action and the basic swinging of a forehand shot.
