In this video, we will be explaining how
0:02
to improve your overall speed on the
0:04
court. Anthony Ginting, arguably one of
0:07
the fastest men's singles players to
0:08
ever play this sport, will be our main
0:11
example for today's video. Keep in mind
0:13
that these tips can be seen in many
0:15
other top players such as Lee Chongi or
0:23
As soon as Ginting hits a shot, you can
0:26
see he immediately begins recovering and
0:27
is ready for the next shot. Watch these
0:29
few rallies and see how fast Ginting
0:30
recovers for the next shot.
1:51
fast recovery is an extremely important
1:53
factor for increasing speed on the
1:55
court. Listen to this clip of Morton
1:57
Frost explaining just that.
2:00
He's got a fantastic spring in his legs,
2:02
but what he's good at is he he's good at
2:05
hitting shots and moving at the same
2:07
time. A lot of players hit the shot,
2:09
hesitate a little bit, and then they
2:11
move. He hits the shot and move at the
2:13
same time. And that's what Lindan is
2:15
doing as well. Really well. This also
2:17
connects to our next point.
2:20
If you pay close attention to Ginting's
2:21
swing for both the front court and back
2:24
court, you can see he mainly uses the
2:26
last second timing from his wrist and
2:28
fingers to control the shot. Not only
2:31
does this improve the quality of his
2:32
shot, but it also keeps his swing small,
2:36
which allows him to quickly recover for
2:38
the next shot as opposed to using the
2:40
entire body and the shoulder to get
2:44
And and you can't despite Yes, he's he's
2:47
made it all the way to top.
3:19
whether Ginting dares to play the net.
3:44
You can see this clip where Chenl Long
3:45
full smashes and his recovery is
3:48
disrupted, making him unable to follow
3:50
up quick for the next shot.
4:01
Brilliant defense. Oh my goodness.
4:08
Look, he just watches it and then he
4:12
While it is the most basic, it is one of
4:15
the most important. You can consistently
4:17
see Ginting in a crouch position with
4:19
his body weight leaning forward and onto
4:21
his toes. He maintains a wide stance
4:23
that allows him to push into the ground
4:25
in either direction to speed up.
4:45
Ginting opts to hit faster shots such as
4:48
half smashes, drives, and flat pushes,
4:52
which keeps the overall pace of the
4:53
rally faster, as well as limiting the
4:55
number of shots that his opponent can
4:57
play. Ginting often plays half smashes
4:59
with a lot of pace to the shot, which
5:01
often forces his opponents to play a
5:03
soft block to the front. He uses this to
5:05
his advantage and rushes forward to take
5:12
Here's a clip where he uses his shot
5:13
choice to speed up the rally.
5:43
You can see from this clip that Ginting
5:45
plays a flat push at Chotin Chen, which
5:47
limits Cho's ability to play a variety
5:49
of shots. Ginting uses this to his
5:51
advantage and anticipates the soft
5:52
block, finishing the rally.
6:08
On the contrary, playing slow drops or
6:10
high clears allows your opponent to
6:13
speed up themselves and it gives them a
6:15
variety of shot options where they can
6:17
hit to all six corners, putting you in a
6:24
Ginting can be seen consistently taking
6:26
the net early to spin the shuttle or
6:28
push his opponent back.
6:30
This forces his opponent to lift or
6:32
clear the shuttle high to give
6:33
themselves a chance to recover, but in
6:36
turn also gives Ginting time to jump up
6:38
and continue attacking. You can also see
6:40
that Ginting tends to position his base
6:42
up front, indicating that he prioritizes
6:47
Very early on that one.
6:57
In this clip, you can see him rushing
6:59
forward to take the net early, which
7:01
gives up some of his focus from the back
7:11
When you control the net, you are able
7:13
to control the rally.
7:22
To sum it all up, Ginting uses his
7:25
recovery capabilities, great technique,
7:28
and shot choice to further increase his
7:30
speed on court. Of course, you must also
7:32
have a great foundation with your
7:33
footwork technique, such as split step
7:35
timing and lunging along with a good
7:38
physical training program. Who do you
