Training Badminton Skills
Badminton :
Everyone wants to get better , but how?
A famous coach once saide to me :
" you play badminton with your feet"
Which is true , their is no point fo having amazing shots , if you can't get to the shuttlecock in time. Theirs no point fo having the latest racket if you don't have technique.
So work on footwork
Leg strength
and stamina.
I think these things will drastically improve your game.
Good luck

Create A badminton brand
So after all the badminton brand research I have been doing : I was thinking about creating my own brand.
I know where you can create rackets , shoes etc..
But I wanted suggestions from you guys?
If you could create a brand :
what would you call it?
What would its slogon be?
Obviously i don't have enough money to create it - but I'm just wondering , would you guys would do.

Li Ning
Hi,
As most of us probably know , Yonex is dominant in most places in badminton.
It has allways been the most popoular badminton brand - and has earnt a lot of money throughout their life with badminton consumers.
They have always branded their rackets the best , sponsored the top players and teams , and sponsored the best tournaments . Like the all england open which Yonex has sponsored for 25 years now.
In most countries you see people holding the famous yonex rackets which most likeley cost them a lot of money.But can you blame yonex for making their product cost the most?
I have always been anti - yonex but now I do understand that they had to do what they did. They have made badminton as big as it is now. They do deserve to make that money after investing a lot of their time. After all they have been in the market for 50 years?
Other brands are doing good to succed and overcome yonex's control over countries like victor.
I like victors products and they have now taken the Korean badminton team , and Thailands badminton team. But they are still developing and I doub't they will succeed to beat yoenx in sales any time soon. But they are well known in a lto of countries now.
I am surprised with the sucess of Forza as a brand. They have dominated Denmark's badminton range. And Denmark currently the most successful european badminton country this is a good effort from them. I also see Forza gaining the market in the U.K - which I like to see.
A lot of brands have been trying to get a bigger proprtion of the badminton market , and now brands like Apacs have created a "new" market. They have created clone rackets for approximateley a third of yonex's prices. Which is impressive - apacs too are doing quite succesfully.
I like the competition between the brands , because this is a devlopment for badminton. Why?
because when brands fight over the market share , they want to market their product by sponsoring more players , new events etc... Thus making badminton a more popular sport. Which for me is probably one of the most important goals in badminton. Firstly to make it not a backyard sport - it doesn't deserve this. And secondly so it can be as popular as other sports which millions get poured into.
So what has this been leading up to...
Their is a new very big brand in the Market :
Li Ning
Li Ning is a very big brand , and why am I so happy they are her , because they have money! Li Ning is an established brand in china . If you look it up in google you will see their logo , does this remind you of anything?
Perhaps nikes logo?
If you research their slogon - it is : Everything is possible
What is nikes slogon?
Nothing Is impossible.
So at first I thought , yeah thats nothing special another brand in the market which has practically copied Nike. But it is the complete opposite.
Although it may seem Li Ning has copied Nike , Li Ning was established firts!
This brought my awareness up - and I was filled with a strange emotion.
So what is Li Ning doing that I am so impressed about?
Well what did yonex do:
bought the allmight chinese team!
China normally dominates badminton although other countries like , malaysia , indonesia and korea are doing well.
China did win all the medals in the all england. So their dominance does remain.
Well if you really want to know yonex does no longer own the chinese badminton team!
What?
Yes this is no joke Li Ning has outbid Yonex for the chinese badminton team.
They have also sponsord a massive badminton event: the surdiman cup.
The surdiman cup starts tomoroow where Li Ning will showcase all their new badminnton products.
Great!!!???
Well a bit of both :
Yes because this may force yonex too lower their prices of all their bamdinton products.
Their will finally be a massive brand with a lot of money in badminton!
The bad side?
Li Ning after purchasing and advertising and marketing will want to make money.
Li Ning will basically be the new Yonex I think - and may even charge more for their badminton merchandise.
This will be an interesting year for badminton.

Training badminton :
2 vs 1 - is a really good way to train up. Singles court everywhere , the players with 2 people on one side have to stand on their side and can't do a normal doubles attacking stance.
Try it out - this will really improve your badminton.
If you can use a training badminton racket , this will increase you wrist and arm strenght - which is a key to success in badminton.
But thats not all when using the training badminton racket focus on correct hitting technique this will develope all your strokes.
