Badminton Tips - Footwork Part 2 (Side)

00:00 Next is to the the side of the court, the footwork going to side.

00:04

First is my forehand. There are different ways of going to the forehand as well.

00:09

If my leg is strong enough, or if I'm tall enough, I can just use one hop to go to the side.

00:14

What I do is just one hop and I am already on the side.

00:20

You notice that my hips were turned to get me further distance.

00:27

if my hip does not turn, I am going to get stuck at a shorter distance.

00:31

So that is one hop.

00:33

If you like to do the two step, you do the same thing with your right leg cross, left leg step.

00:42

So that is another step of going to the side.

00:45

If you want to do the shuffle, which might make you go faster, will be shuffle sideways.

00:54

Those movements you have seen earlier, when I did a warm-up exercise,

00:58

which now you can see how to incorporate it in the footwork.

01:02

When it comes to backhand, it is a little bit limited how many you can use.

01:07

You can still use the one step, which you will end up with the right leg.

01:12

If your leg is strong enough, just push. You can take the shot sideways, this way.

01:18

if you want to go further out, you would have to bring your racquet leg across. Which looks like this way.

01:30

So once again, the backhand one step. The further out with a bigger step.

01:39

That is the backhand. Once again the forehand,

01:42

I have to one hop to stab the shuttle.

01:50

And that is the footwork for the side.
