How to be a professional badminton player-3(court Skills)

Only fitness and fluid moment is not enough to be a professional badminton .you should have perfect court skills .Today i will explain you about how to improve court skills.Court skills means deception.accuracy and consistency.
Deception-In order to be deceptive, you have to keep your opponents guessing. Basic preparations for executing shots are all the same. You will discover that the angle of the racket face, speed of the racket head and point of the impact can be changed to create deception. Of course there's a need for experience.
Deceptive Lifts :-

• Hold and flick(The basic idea is to play your lifts with a very short hitting action. Your preparation should look the same as a net shot, and you should hold this posture as long as you can.)


• Reversing the hold-and-flick(As an occasional variation, you can reverse this deception by making a larger swing—as though playing a lift—before slowing down your racket movement and playing a net shot. The downside is that your net shot will be less accurate; the upside is that, because this deception is less common, it’s more surprising)


• Double motion(For example, you can start a racket swing in a cross-court direction, before withdrawing the racket and quickly playing a straight shot instead (bending back the wrist to help achieve the straight angle.)


• Slicing your lifts(This is technically very difficult, but it can produce spectacular results. As with double motion, sliced lifts are used to mislead your opponent about the direction of the shot; but they can be more deceptive, because they use an uninterrupted swing.)

Accuracy-In order to gain accuracy, you need to have good footwork, technique and also fitness. You can develop shot accuracy through multi-shuttle drills. You have to hit a lot of shuttles toward the same spot on the other side of the court.In a match, an accurate and consistent performance will give you an advantage when you are under pressure. The advantage refers to driving your opponent to commit unforced errors and making wrong decisions first.

Consistency -Before hitting the shots accurately, you need to have the consistency first. Consistency can be defined as keeping the shots simple and safe over the net. In order to be consistent, frequent and repetitive practice of a technique is needed. Understand the techniques first before gaining the skills.
Try to repeat the shots again and again until you master it. Soon, no one would dare to have a match with you.
