so you love your bedon and you want more power but this is how you trying to generate power big big swing and you just don't seem like you generate much power
00:15
compared to some the other more advanced players so today I want to teach you how to get power using your finger power and how it can help you to not just get more energy more better beautiful sound but it's just able have much nicer posture
00:31
and allow your footwork to take shape a lot better so you hopefully you're going to go from this two there so stay tuned and I want to teach you how Okay so Bon is quite a unique sport because the racket is just
00:49
so light which mean you don't need a lot of muscles to swing it hard to generate what they call racket speed right because at the end of the day the rocket speed is what you want to get that power in your
01:07
shot so not only the rocket is light you got your beautiful string tension here that can really Propel the shuttles and the shuttles themselves are very light as well so unlike like a tennis racket which is very heavy the ball when it com to you it actually has a lot of energy
01:24
and momentum as well so you need a very strong rist that you have to lock this wrist in a very strong formation and when you hit it you're going to hit with your full power and that wrist is nice and tight because if your wrist is loose
01:40
and it's a soft weak like formation you're going to hurt your wrist a lot when you play your tennis so you know in term of tennis strong grip strong form strong swing everything is locked so that your body can absor absorb a lot of
01:56
the impact but Bon it's not nothing like tennis right Bon nice and light shuttle is nice and light so when the shuttle when you hit the shuttle there's not that much impacts at all which mean to generate racket speed rather
02:13
than using your whole body you listen to the sound compared to using your fingers so as you can see I don't get much movement in my body at all but the
02:29
sound sound compared from this to this that sound when you're using proper techniques is much more powerful and much shorter as well so in ter of biton how you can
02:45
generate power you basically trying to transfer as much any as you can as energy as you can into the shuttle just at the point of impact and basically release it afterwards so a good analogy would be like if I was to have like a
03:00
towel and I want to hit you between swing it really hard to doing a flick which one do you think will hurt you more is a flick right and it's the same as Bon to get big Power is not
03:16
about big swing it's about that flicking motion where you trying to compact the amount of energy into a very short duration of time just before and after Ina and that's it you just keep can release and that is a beauty about
03:32
bedington and that's also one of the reason why people struggle a lot they don't understand that principle and for them without any form of culturing or guidance all they think about it's bigger the swing it's bigger the power
03:47
right and you will see this a lot in two particular instances the smash so with the smash you see a lot of you know beginners or even intermidate players they will come and they were hit with a full swing well if you watch
04:04
a professional this beautiful squeeze up the Racket and you can see the racket bounce back and another area that you will commonly see people with big swing at this late back hand where the shuttle is behind they struggle to get to the
04:21
shuttle and then they trying to swing as big as they can in order to hopefully get a chance to have the shuttle down there so the problem when you do big swing is as you can imagine when you do
04:37
big swing you put in heaves of momentum into your body and it's very difficult to control right so not only massive pressure on all your muscle
04:55
and Joints it also create too much momentum and causes a lot of instability in your form which mean you're going to lose power and you're going to lose control and that going to lead to poor quality shots and poor
05:11
consistency while if you learn to use your finger power you're able to move less generate proper techniques and power but if you watch my form is a lot
05:27
more stable and I can come back and get ready for the next shot in comparison to I'm losing my footing I'm losing my balance when you do big swing and you see there's a lot a lower level player
05:43
who doesn't quite understand how to use finger power so essentially that's what fingers power is it's about learning how to have soft hand soft grip and squeeze
05:59
and did this squeezing that give you a massive amount of Racket speed in a very short movement rather than big movement like this where the racket speed you
06:14
might think you're doing big swing and big energy but the rocket speed at the point of impact is actually is a lot lower and this what finger power is about and if unless it actually been shown this you probably wouldn't have heard about it or even know about it and
06:31
hopefully after this video the when you watch other Advanced players you can really Marvel and enjoy the way they use the hand and the finger to generate this finger power the other thing about with finger power as you learning how to do
06:46
soft hand and soft grip is that you can be a lot more delicate in your shot you're going to have better control better variety in your control because when you hit a shot was such a relaxing manner because your grip is so
07:02
nice and soft right your form your your posture your stability it will allow you to change or make you know make changes to your shot right at the last minute which
07:17
mean you're going to have more variety in your sh and more deception as well so for example with a light hand corner if you want to do a drop shot rather than do a big swing to try and do a drop shot if you are
07:32
able to learn to use your fingers and generate just enough power needed as you can see I'm not swinging big at all so which mean now I can hit much softer shot much more stable
07:50
and which mean I'm can move I'm I can allow my footwork to hurt and come back and get ready for the next shot a lot faster so it's not just about power it's about control form
08:07
stability and allow your footwork to really kick in and help you to move around the court a lot faster so I want to show you just how much power you can get just from squeezing your fingers so let's say backand instead of swinging like I can't
08:25
control how high that shot is okay I have to swing that pretty high and it just arrived by the camera right comparison to that which is the same distance except for oh that's even
08:42
further now that's even further than before and this just simply learning to relax and squeeze rather than a full swing so by the time you put a bit more more of your
09:00
body rotation a b of forearm you're going to get even more power oops so that's that's gone all the way out into the back of the court and
09:16
nearly hit the wall rather than this and that's not very far at all as you can see so imagine I'm going to hit a shot and trying to come back for the next shot so when I hit with a full big swing it be like
09:33
this my footwork I just can't control the footwork what if you do just a finger power you can squeeze come back squeeze and come back rather than so let's say this forehand Corner
09:51
this forehand it me do big swing oh man it's just hard work compared to just this light back
10:09
hand oh man that that barely gone just over halfway and this light back hand is ever so true and that the more the shuttle go behind you the more big swing won't work you
10:27
just can't get the shuttle straight and far but if you can learn how to learn how to squeeze you see how far that went you just have to learn to relax and squeeze so how do you do this finger power the
10:44
most important thing is soft hand so when you hold your bracket this is your V grip this is your back hand if you hold your forearm and you move it up and down this wrist should wobble this r
10:59
should wobble rather than this which mean you're holding on two times right so that's one thing learn to hold so that you have Gap because without Gap you can't squeeze so for some back
11:15
hand if you hold really tight like this you don't have much room to squeeze at all then you start using your wrist but if you learn to have soft hand you can squeeze
11:30
so learn the proper techniques learn how to hold a beautiful V GP nice and soft learn how to do a beautiful thumb grip for your back hand or bever grip for your back hand or even pan handle because for the light uh back hand shot
11:45
if it's really far behind you you're going to need to go into your pan handle but you see how I'm holding in my fingers rather than here that doesn't give me a lot of room to squeeze I can rotate my forearm but I can't squeeze right and
12:05
learn to properly use what they call Kinetic chain in bedington so kinetic chain is about using big muscle first and then transfer that energy into the smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller muscle and then eventually
12:21
you're going to lead into your hand into your fingertip and then you squeeze and that's how you can gener that's how you can generate huge amount of Power by using such little muscle so for example so you imagine it's like a Who start
12:38
from thick where you're holding the handle and it just get thinner and thinner and thinner as it go along until right the very tip going to be this small and that's what it mean by kinetic energy going to flow from your hand into the grip and transfer all the way into that little tip and it will whoop and it
12:54
will make that massive sound so just like bedington so for example you know kinetic chain let's say you got a backhand shot so rather than come in and swing before you step you should be step
13:09
first and then swing and just by stepping you then push all the energy up into the upper body into this um into the um into the shoulder the shoulder then pull the
13:24
forearm and then you squeeze rather than this where you haven't learned to relax the forearm so the energy energy can flow into the forearm and hand and into the finger this is even more true when it come to overhead and
13:41
smash so a lot of beginners and intimate intimate players you find that they will hurt before they allow their body to rotate which mean you're not allowing this transfer of energy to go from the legs into the core and flow up into your
13:58
hand while the more advanced players especially when it comes to smash you'll see they do this massive rotation and this hand is to lagging so by the time they rotate about here this hand is still back here they haven't done anything with the elbow and the
14:14
hand and only from here that they're going to allow this body to [Music] pull and into the squeezing of the fingers right so learn about kinetic chain learn how to use bigger especially
14:30
cor MUSC so first and feed that into your finger and you're going to find that you're going to have a huge amount of powers another good sign to know that if you're using good finger power is you will see this bounce back of the bracket
14:48
and that just simply become momentum you have this massive momentum going forward and suddenly has to stop so it can't just stop immediately it will stop and bounce right so quite often when I teach people fingers power that's one of the first
15:04
thing they realize you go wow my rocket bounce because if you do big swing your rocket will never bounce you will never experience that bouncing effect face and this especially true when you see like smash so you know the
15:19
the lower level will smash with the whole arm while the more advanced player will smash like this where you see the right will bounce back up and if you watch a pro and you watch a slow motion of the pro smash it's so beautiful when you see
15:38
this bounce coming up because they squeeze and this rocket has to bounce back up because there just so much energy going to that rotation and the rocket movement and it goes back up hopefully from this video you can see
15:53
just how much problem big swing can create it does give you more power but it also creates a lot of problems to your stability to your shot quality to your shot consistency and in of footwork it just
16:09
make it really hard to get back and prepare for the next shot why if you learn finger power suddenly all your short be all of your short and your swing become a lot smaller a lot shorter your timing will improve your power will increase but you
16:26
suddenly have oh wow I'm I'm much more stable I'm much more in control of my shot and you're going to find it will change your game completely so hopefully this video had convinced you enough to start to learn finger power and for you
16:42
to realize just what fingers power is so go and practice that a lot learn to squeeze a lot you can sit at home you know in your back hand just learn to squeeze squeeze squeeze squeeze squeeze squeeze squeeze backand forehand learn to chop first you know this is ch choing
16:59
the fruit right using the fingers to chop and once you get good at that start to learn chop and punch chop and punch chop and punch chop and punch and you can go into your pen handle or your bevel squeeze squeeze squeeze squeeze squeeze
17:14
squeeze squeeze all this is just simply learning to squeeze and before you know you're going to use this on the Bonton court and people people going to say wow what you get that power from because I know that
17:31
you know I'm teaching my wife learn at the moment and she really enjoy learning finger power and I know that when she goes to bedington she gets a lot of comment on the sound that she can create and the power that she that she can create for such a small lady as well so
17:47
yes practice your finger powers and I hope you really enjoy what changes it will make to your bedminton game if you like the video don't forget to click on you know the next video or the next playlist here there's lots and lots of video that hopefully will help you in
18:03
some way or the other to really change your bedington game and make it better so yeah check this out and I'll see you guys in the next video bye-bye
