Found another video that helps highlight the forearm and wrist over the full body swing/corkscrew.

I’ve seen this video. Credit where it is due, this is a really good video.

Probably saw it where I pinched it from as I think you are on badmintoncentral too 🙂
Just realised I also swing the racket from the side and not from straight. Definitely going to put this in practice tomorrow
Indeed my cross court is better, I do the corkscrew too. I tried this, but it feels a bit awkward. When I smash straight, I tilt my racket head a little bit, makes it harder for my opponent to see where the shuttle is going to (I hope !).
THX so much for the tips, a video says more than a 1000 words !

I took a closer look at the smashes performed on our trainings session yesterday… For me, I’m doing a “half” corkscrew because my racket arm stops in front of my body and not on my left side… It feels quite interesting when focusing on your method 🙂
I realized that there is even another technique on how to do a smash: must be the “windmill”… really scary! 😉
Thanks Paul, I thought I was right, but this video confirms it, I was doing the corkscrew motion as well.
I thought my hand was relaxed until I thought about it during a game and I realised it wasnt as relaxed as what it cud have been. I definitely felt it improved my control and power when I tightening only on impact. Cheers
Yup, got the point now, too!!!
Sounds great! I’ll check it this evening on court…
Thank you Paul!
Now I understand what your article was all about. Thanks for the video, Paul!
