Swing order before power

The main points in 30 seconds

The student hits as hard as he can and finds the net. The coach rebuilds the swing in the right order.

• The order: legs → hips → upper body → arm → racket. The arm never goes first.
• Relax the wrist: a raised racket should fall by itself. 'Power doesn't win you two points.'
• Shuttle in the net means the swing came too early and too fast: drop the racket head to the shuttle's speed.
• Pick the contact point, wait for the shuttle there, then turn the body sharply.
• Don't copy the pros' fast moves yet: first a precise basic swing.
