Jump Smash

As we all know and see during matches mostly points are earned with powerful jump smashes.So it necessary to play.I have been playing badminton from 10 years and after concerning with many of my frds and searching on net ,i will tell you the best way to improve jump smash,So here it it:-

FITNESS-The first need of jump smash is physical fitness.you should have enough strength in your legs to jump.There are several exercises to improve jump smash like sprint(Most Effective),Jump and touch as high you can,Put you both hand on your head and jump,in this your knees should come to the chest.,
Do skipping,frog jump and many more exercises you can find on you tube.


TECHNIQUE-Only Fitness is not enough ,you should know how to jump,when to jump and how to land.
Get behind the bird, jump at the right time and complete a good, near perfect rotation in the air.In the beginning,1 or 2,3 weeks may be your jump timing don't work but don't give up,after some time you will automatically start to jumping at perfect time ,i am telling you this because i have experienced this.
*The key is to jump up is that the non-racquet shoulder towards the shuttle as usual and  then bend both your knees back -- but keep your thighs fairly straight pointing down -- and then simultaneously start the body rotation and perform the arm swing and  straighten your knees fast.
*Hold your raquet behind your head in your normal (pre-swing) position - execute a variety of jump smashes this way.



When you play jump smash in singles ,you should play cross-court to see better results.The more you practice,the more perfect you will be.

STRATEGY-
1) Keep your opponents from attacking your attacks, because if it's powerful enough, they should have quite some trouble driving it back, due to the trajectory and speed, as well as the mental fear.
2) Having a good smash prevents your opponents from attacking your drops, as they will tend not to rush, fearing that you'll just whack their face off with a good smash.
3) Good jump on the smash can get you a very good angle and force them to lift. Good power on the smash can get you a weaker lift. Have both of these and you'll get more chances to smash and finish it off. Also, if you can get a good angle, you'll also make them bend and crouch for them, which also requires energy.
