Tang XianHu -Shot Sequences

When we start playing badminton, or even play for years, we tend to focus more on individual badminton techniques. In practice, we know that there are lots of badminton sequences we have been playing all the time but have not realised. If we know these common shot sequences, we would be better prepared for opponents’ shots. When we become familiar with these shot sequences, we would certainly react more naturally, quickly and gain control over opponents.

In the following, I will show you the SEVEN badminton shot sequences taught by legend Tang XianHu.

In left court, low serve, then prepare for blocking the net;

In left court, high serve, move to right forecourt and lift to play defensive clear, move back to the centre;

In right court, high serve, move to left backcourt, jump, crosscourt attacking clear, back to the centre;

In right court, high serve, move to left backcourt, use backhand to play defensive clear, back to the centre;

In left court, high serve, move to right backcourt, forehand attacking clear, back to the centre;

In left backcourt, overhead jump smash straight, then move to the net (left forecourt) and play backhand spinning net shot;

In left backcourt, overhead jump smash crosscourt, then move to the net (right forecourt) and play forehand spinning net shot.

After you practise these shot sequences, I am sure you would develop other shot sequences according to your own style.

Footwork:

From the centre of the badminton court, make 2 or 3 steps to the net. With 2 steps, starting from left foot. With 3 steps, starting from right foot.

While you are moving towards the net, relax in elbow, forearm, wrist. Supinate your forearm with wrist extended as much as possible. Close to 90 degree.

During Impact:

Power source:

Forearm swing could not generate much speed to play shots in forecourt area. The power of this shot is generated from pronation of forearm, wrist swing and fingers tighten.
