它山之石可以攻玉

作者： JP | 发布： 2009年01月2日

它山之石可以攻玉
羽毛球运动是一项别具一格的运动。它与网球、乒乓球有不少相似的地方，但其击球技术又十分独特，从接发球到平抽打，从拉高远球到吊放网、从点杀、劈杀、重力扣杀到接杀和挡放网、从网前搓放小球到勾放对角球等等，都自成体系。从而形成了有别与其他的球类的一种运动。然而，羽毛球还是可以从其它使用拍弦球类运动中移植许多特别的击球技术，同时也能从其它运动中获得另类的击球技巧，从而更丰富羽毛球的打法，更增进羽毛球的比赛竞技。常言道：它山之石可以攻玉。下面就是世界级高手在比赛中融会和采纳的精彩击球技术。

滑板击球技术 后场吊网、平推后场
在乒乓球的击球手法中，有一种滑板击球法，出球的方向与球怕运动的方向不一致，可以用一个往东而另一个朝西来形容。在羽毛球的击球技术中，高手们也采用了类似乒乓球的滑板技术。它主要使用在自己的后场反手区，当对手拉你的反手位高远球时，使用正手后退步伐抢到高点击球，将球拍在自己的头顶上方从右向左滑动（这对右手持拍者而言），而正拍面始终朝着网的方向， 好似要吊一个近网角的网前球，而实际出球是吊了一个远网角的网前球，即对角网前球。由于滑板击球有欺骗性，容易造成对手上当受骗。在当今的世界高手中，中国运动员的滑板吊球是十分出色。

下手切削击球技术
削球在乒乓球和网球比赛中是很常见的击球技术之一。它的特点是使球旋转起来，并以低弹道弧度掠网顶而过将球回到对方的台面或场地上，使对手没有机会起板从上朝下扣杀。该击球技术被世界羽毛球高手们运用到比赛中，变成下手（underhand）切削球技术。最常见的是中前场的控球打法。当对方将球吊到你的网前角或两边的中腰处，而你使用下手的挑球技术击球，容易造成自己的被动局面。如果球挑得不够高和远，就很容易让对方有机会起跳从上往下打，多半是一拍扣死。当使用了下手的切削球技术后，回球轨迹的最高点是网顶，球过网就下坠，落点是在对方的网前角或中腰处，不让对手得到进攻的机会，自己也不会处于被动挨打的局面。
在当今的世界高手中，马来西亚的李宗伟和印尼的陶菲克就非常娴熟的使用下手切削球技术。

前倾压帕接杀反弹技术
提拉弧旋球是乒乓球运动中攻防使用最多的击球技术。特点是挥拍的幅度大，球速快，力量重，前冲型。虽然球在过网顶时并非低弹道，距离网顶还挺高，但过网后下坠的速度快， 只要发力掌握得好，就可以控制球的落点。世界上羽毛球的高手们将该击球技术融会于接杀回球中，正反手都可以使用提拉弧旋击球。他们将拍面压低，并且球拍面前倾，击球时拍面是朝着地板而非向着球网或天花板。当对方扣杀到中后场两侧时，使用该接杀技术能以守为攻，击出对角线中腰或直线中腰落点的弧旋球，变被动为主动，造成对方难有二次进攻的机会。

小横板平抽（拉）球技术
小横板平抽（拉）球技术是一种动作幅度小，挥拍迅速，出球平而直，但又急又快的进攻型击球技术。在乒乓球比赛中，其威力如有响雷不及掩耳之势，使对手难以防患。在羽毛球的世界高手对阵中，将此技术运用到比赛中，起到很好的效果。其中林丹就是十分擅长小横板平抽球技术，在比赛中有时让对手反应还来不及就莫名其妙的丢分了，可见该技术的确行之有效。

超手回勾击球技术
在篮球运动中，有超手勾射投篮的技巧。其特点是出球点高，不容易被对方盖帽。羽毛球击球也讲究高击球点和击球后身体保持平衡，以利下一个动作连贯。利用自己的身高和手臂长度，采用侧身在后场勾手杀球和吊球，球路多以对角线为主，对手有时是意想不到。由于勾手击球的触球点高，又具备突然性，在吊网时能打出落点很近网的吊网球，吊球质量会很好。
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZIhOV7-_9g&NR=1

弧旋香蕉球击球技术
提起弧旋香蕉球，大家一定会联想到踢足球。人们一定会对英国球星贝克曼所发定位香蕉球攻门记忆犹新。其实，在羽毛球的比赛中，也有弧旋香蕉球的击球技巧。其中马来西亚男双新秀在高水平的比赛中击出的高远香蕉球就是让人们大开眼界。 沿边线飞行的高远球在过网时已飞出边线，连防守队员站在同一边线上都判断此球已出界。谁知羽毛球在空中划了一个香蕉圆弧又飞回场内，落到端角处。让防守对手望球兴叹。或许有人会质疑是场馆的风把球吹回来了。如果有那么大的风，该场地就不能适合比赛了。

弧旋香蕉球有一个共同点就是球在空中飞行有拐弯改变方向。在羽毛球运动中就是改变了球的落点。而且会与常规飞行球的落点相差几十公分的距离。其中较为多见的是在正手底角附近大力劈吊对角。由于出球的初速度快，完全与劈杀一样，开始的飞行轨迹落点直奔对方的另一边线中腰处。但实际羽毛球在半路上拐了一点弯，落到对角网前处，而且很贴近网。对手就是站在同一侧的半场内都很难防住带弧旋的对角劈吊球。所以，在羽毛球比赛中，使用弧旋香蕉球技术能使对方判断失误。

滑拍变方向击球技术
该击球技术有点似棒球运动中的击球手将球棒水平横向滑动，最后用棒头轻轻的点击棒球，使球就落在击球手附近的打法。

在羽毛球比赛中，世界羽毛球高手就采用类似的手法技巧。他们能提前判断和抢到来球的方位，就有充分的时间做假动作。将球拍等在来球处，好像是以拍面的底部（近拍杆处）击球，实际上横移滑动拍面，使用拍面的上端处击球。由于有一个时间差存在， 再加上球拍的触球点不同，很容易使对手判断错误。这是一个非常好的羽毛球假动作击球技术。中国的林丹将该击球技术使用得惟妙惟肖和相当出色。
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHEURiej5ko&NR=1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDwkcurD3o8&feature=related

海底捞针回放网前球技术
在乒乓球比赛中，时常能看到运动员从台底将球救起来，并被冠以海底捞针。在羽毛球的比赛中，也有如此的击球技巧。高手们能在网前将即将落地的球救起并回放到对方的网前。其手法也是包含了切击球托和拖带提升羽毛球，使之几乎垂直上升，在网顶上翻滚，最后落回对方的场地中。该技术的经典之作是马来西亚的双打新秀所代表秀。
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EszBfSWdAys&feature=related

不同的球类运动有不同的特色和特点，但也有许多共性。借助其它球类运动的打法来丰富羽毛球的打法，能使之羽毛球比赛更精彩和扣人心弦。虽然有些击球动作并非正统，但十分实用。如果在扎实的掌握了正统的羽毛球击球技术后在深造一些高级的、非正统的击球手法，就能使个人的羽毛球水平再上一个台阶，还能使打羽毛球变得更加快乐。

Not so Glorious Return to the Court

作者： TJ | 发布： 2008年12月29日

I haven’t played badminton for about a month, and yesterday JP and I went to play some drop-in badminton at a local badminton centre. Since I haven’t played for a while, I’m not really expecting a spectacular performance and I was right. Well, I was actually doing better than I thought, and three out of the first four games we played were competitive, but JP and I lost anyways, mainly because my screw-up and lack of physical fitness. I was tired after the second game but managed to get a second wind during the fourth game, but we still lost.

The last game of the night was against a mixed doubles pair. The male opponent was pretty good, but his female companion is not as good. It was a tight game and our opponents held a slim lead and got to 19 points first, but JP and I managed to muster whatever we have left and fought back to take the game 21 to 19. The main strategy was to hit it towards the lady opponent, and also for me to stay in the front while JP control the game from the back. After the winning this game I decided that I have gotten enough exercise for the day, as my legs and right arm was sore already. So at the end of the day we ended up with a 1-4 record. Not great, but at least we got one win at the end. Now that I’m not going to school, I’ll probably play a litte more badminton. I think I can still go back to my university to play in the badminton club as I have paid for two terms.

Happy New Years to all our readers.

Incredible Forehand Grip Backhand Shots

作者： JP | 发布： 2008年12月27日

There are many different strokes in the sport of badminton. Many of these strokes are covered as standard textbook material, but some of them are not. Many of these non-textbook skills can be seen in high-level competitions where players must use every trick they know to defeat their opponent. During a world-class badminton match, the players display many skills that we are familiar with, some skills that we are not so familiar with, and other skills that we never thought was possible to use on the court. This is one of the reasons why badminton is such a fun and addictive sport.

Last time I wrote about “The Backhand Grip Forehand Shot” after watching some world-class competition. Recently I witnessed a former Chinese national women’s team player Jiang Xuelian showing off her skills in the court, and her sublime performance has given me inspiration to write another article.

Since there are “Backhand Grip Forehand Shots”, logically there are also “Forehand Grip Backhand Shots”. As the name indicates, these shots involve a player using a forehand stroke to return shots to the player’s backhand side. The most common types of forehand grip backhand shots are tilting to the backhand side to hit overhead clears, smashes, and drops. However, I also watched Ms. Jiang using many other types of these strokes to defeat skilled male opponents. The forehand grip backhand shots used by this player are very useful and potent, and they show that Ms. Jiang is indeed a world class player.

Below is a list of uncommon forehand grip backhand shots that I’ve compiled after watching matches between various advanced-level players.

Tilt to backhand side overhead drive
This move is very useful for answering quick drives to your backhand side, and the aim is to use even more velocity to overcome the velocity of your opponent’s shot. The characteristics of this stroke is that it’s fast, powerful, and flies straight at the opponent’s chest, making this move an effective counter to fast drives to the high backhand side.

Tilt to backhand side overhead smash block
This is one of Ms. Jiang’s signature moves. This stroke is to use to return relatively flat smashes to the backhand side. The characteristics of this block are that it can react very quickly and the power of the return shot can be adjusted. It’s possible to clear to the opponent’s backcourt or drop it into an empty corner, so this stroke can be used to turn the tides and start a counterattack.

Behind the back, between the legs smash block
In world-class competitions you can sometimes see players using this stroke to return smashes. The situation for using this stroke is that the opponent’s smash is close to your body but your racket is not in front of you. In this situation you can put your racket behind your back and between your legs in an attempt to block the smash.

Behind the back waist position smash block
Another “trick shot” that’s seen in world class competitions, this stroke involves putting your arm behind the back so that the racket head is on the waist of your backhand side. One of the most famous practitioners of this move is famous Indonesian player Taufik Hidayat, and bellows are some videos of him using this amazing skill.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woSj8x3hx3k&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKZZDT5r4rY&feature=related

Near-net forehand diagonal drop on the backhand side
The signature move of famous Danish player Peter Gades, the net shot involves using a forehand stroke to return a drop shot to the backhand side. Instead of returning the shot with the backhand, you let the shuttle fall a little further and then swing backwards with a forehand stroke, thereby dropping the bird to the other corner. Here is a video of the move.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pV8hk1-fdmc&feature=related

Turned-around baseline underhand drive
When the opponent clears to your backhand baseline corner, there will be times when you won’t be able to reach the optimum position for hitting the return clear. Instead of trying to hit the backhand clear, you take one more step towards the bird so that your back is facing the net. At that moment you can use a hard, underhand forehand swing to drive the shuttle back towards your opponent and catch them off guard.

Turned-around baseline underhand cross-court drop
Similar to the above technique, the only difference is that this stroke will attempt to drop the shuttle in the diagonally opposite corner near the net. My good friend Su Zhi often uses this stroke to surprise opponents and spectators alike.

Baseline backwards between the legs drive
The final trick shot technique in this article, this stroke is used when the shuttle is falling from high path towards the baseline. With your back turned towards the net, you run towards the shuttle and let it fall to your knees and then use a forehand stroke the drive the shuttle backwards through your legs and towards the opponent’s court.

As you can see from the list, forehand grip backhand shots can be separated into offensive and defensive categories. The offensive ones are more commonly used and are more likely to succeed. Using these techniques during a game requires fitness, speed, power, fast reaction, and some quick thinking. If you want to learn and master these techniques, the best way to do it is to consult professional badminton coaches and/or (former) professional players for their advice.

我们的圣诞节打球活动锦上添花

作者： JP | 发布： 2008年12月27日

在加拿大，圣诞节是法定的公众假期。我们一伙羽毛球爱好者约好在圣诞节的上午到RICHMOND的PRO BADMINTON CENTRE 打球。由于大家已听说前国手蒋雪莲刚从北京回到温哥华，可能也会来参加我们的打球活动。所以吸引了不少的球友慕名而来。大家都想有机会看到前世界羽毛球公开赛冠军的打球风采和聆听她的指教。

我们的活动从上午9点开始，到中午12点15分结束。在3个多小时的打球中，我们如愿以偿的盼到了蒋雪莲的到来，并且更为有幸的观看到她给我们奉上的精彩表演。 为了能从她的打球中学到一些宝贵东西和获得一点灵感。自己与许多球友一样，放下手中的球拍，坐到蒋雪莲比赛的球场边仔细观摩和认真欣赏。心情当然也是十分兴奋，机会真是难得。

花红需要绿叶的衬托才能更娇艳和美丽。世界高手的球技展示也需要与高水平的对手一起过招才能更完美体现。为此，我们球友中曾获得本地公开赛男子单、双打前一、二名的好手作了陪衬。令表演赛十分的激烈和精彩。好球连连不断、高潮彼伏跌起。叫人赏心悦目，叹为观止。

如果在一场比赛中能打出一、二个滚网球，那时有运气的成分。要是人家能打出五、六个滚网球，那就是技术含量占主导因素。而且有的滚网球是在网带上停顿再滚到对方的一侧，让人情不自禁的喝彩。好球，真是好球！蒋雪莲与不同的人配对去战实力强劲的男双，她使出了许多当今世界水平的击球技术，让我们看得如痴如醉，眼花缭乱。其中她采用的正拍反打的抽球和接杀技术让大家佩服得五体投地，也让自己获得宝贵的灵感和写出一篇题为《出神入化的正手（拍）反打羽毛球击球技术》文章。

世界级的国手就是与众不同，一招一式都让我们回味无穷。感谢蒋雪莲给我们带来的羽毛球享受。也祝愿她能有机会重披战袍，去征战未来的世界级的羽毛球比赛。

出神入化的正手（拍）反打的羽毛球击球技术

作者： JP | 发布： 2008年12月26日

在羽毛球这项运动中，击球技术种类繁多，花样百出。有许多是教科书充分介绍和归纳的，也有些是教科书没有刻意阐述的。但高手过招，看家本领就显露无疑，各项技术动作可以发挥得淋漓至尽， 成为克敌获胜的法宝。纵观世界级高手的精彩比赛，有些 技术动作大家都很熟悉，有些技术动作就较为陌生，还有些技术动作就更是匪夷所思，扣人心弦，让人赞叹。就因为这样，使得羽毛球运动魅力非凡，让人着迷和让人眷恋，让人探讨和让人学无止境。

曾记得，自己在观看了世界级运动员的高水平比赛后，写了一篇名为《反手（拍）正打技术》的文章。今天，有机会现场观看中国羽毛球女队的前国手蒋雪莲的精彩表演赛后， 兴奋不已，又得到了羽毛球的写作灵感。

有《反手正打技术》，就当然也有相对应的《正手反打技术》。所谓“正手反打技术”，顾名思义，就是使用正拍面回击处于自己反手位的来球。最通常所见的当然是正手绕过头顶拉高远球，绕过头顶杀球、绕过头顶吊网前球和绕过头顶放对角线球。然而，看了蒋雪莲的击球动作后，真让自己大开眼界。她与男选手对打中所使用出的另类正拍反打技术，成为她犀利的杀手锏和致命武器。这类击球技术是十分新鲜、十分特别和十分实用，充展示了她世界级水平的功底。

综观当今世界羽毛球名将在比赛中展现出来的特别击球技巧，主要可以归纳为以下几种高级正手（拍）反打击球技术

正手反打—- 绕过头顶正手平抽球技术
此技术是蒋雪莲在应付对方的快速平抽自己反手位的来球时所采用的以快制快的高招。特点是挥拍迅速，力量打，球速快，每球直奔对手的胸口要害之处，有后发制人的威力。

正手反打—- 绕过头顶正手接杀球技术
此技术是蒋雪莲的绝活 。在回击对方杀向她反手位、弹道较平、落点在底线附近的来球时，她使用出 较为少见的正手反打接杀技术 。其特点是反应敏捷，收发力 自如。可将球回击到对方的后场，也可以将球挡放到对方的网前死角位。此招是守中有攻，绣里藏针。

正手反打—-胯下正手接杀技术
在世界级比赛中，前印尼国家队的双打好手西德克、吴健明和陈甲亮等人常常使用此招。技术特点是当对方杀追身球时，你的球拍还处于你的正手位而不是在你的身前。你可以挥动球拍绕过你的身后，利用你的正拍面抽击或拦击（BLOCK）杀向你双腿胯下的球。

正手反打—–腰部反手位的正手接杀技术
此技术运用得最娴熟的要数印尼的羽毛球天才王子陶菲克（TAUFIK HIDAYAT）。当他处理杀向他左侧腰部位子的球时，他会挥动正拍面绕过自己的身后去抽击反手位的来球，几乎百发百中，而且让对手防不胜防和打得对手没了脾气。以下就是他使用正手反打接杀动作的录影网址
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woSj8x3hx3k&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKZZDT5r4rY&feature=related

正手反打—-网前反手位的正手勾对角技术
此技术是丹麦羽毛球王子盖德的特技招式。当对手放他一个反手位网前球时，他有时并不是使用自己的反拍面来勾对角网前球。而是使用自己的正拍面，采用反手上网步伐，然后将球怕从上向下挥动，利用正拍面勾出一个对角网前球。十分漂亮。他的网前正手反打动作录影网址为：
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pV8hk1-fdmc&feature=related

正手反打——底线反手位的正手抽球技术
当你在自己的正手位网前角挑对方高球，被对方高球压到底线的反手位端角时，已处于十分被动的处境。你使用正手后退步伐到不了那个位子，使用转身后向底线端角极速奔跑，但还是来不及打出反拍的上手球。那就利用球继续下落到将触地的极短时间，将球拍从上向下（地面）挥动，使用你的正拍面大力抽击即将落地的球，将球送回对方的后场区。这一招可是地地道道的杀了一个回马枪。

正手反打—–底线反手位的正手回放对角网前球
此技术与底线反手位的正手抽球技术有同曲异功之处。当你奔跑到自己的反手位端角，已是背朝着球网。利用手腕和手指的力量，使用正拍面将球挑起，沿对角线飞行到对方的网前角处。此招是我的良师益友苏先生经常使用，常常能化被动为主动，打出让对手难以置信的球。

正手反打—- 在底线处正手从胯下抽球技术
此技术的特点是当球垂直的从上朝着底线下落时，你背向着网跑动到底线，让球贴着你的鼻尖下落，两腿分开。在球触地前的一刹那，挥动球拍，使用正拍面向胯下抽击，将球回击到对方的场地内。

正手反打技术中，有些是属于进攻型的，有的属于防守型的。而使用频率较高的还是进攻型的正手反打技术。学习、掌握和使用这类型的击球技术通常需要有良好的身体素质，快速的反应和灵活的头脑。有时还需有一点点打球的天赋。如果有羽毛球爱好者想学习这方面的技术，最好能请到专业羽毛球运动员、教练员作指导，才可学到和掌握正手反打技术的真谛。

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

作者： TJ | 发布： 2008年12月23日

Another year has (almost) passed us by, and I didn’t realize that this blog became one year old about three months ago. I guess this goes to show how busy I was during my school term, but at least I posted every so often. JP has been pretty busy as well with both work and badminton. He has now gotten official coaching certification and has already recruited several students. I, on the other hand, haven’t played any badminton since the end of November, and I don’t know when I will start playing again. Well currently neither JP and I are playing any badminton these days. First of all it’s the holiday season, and second of all the snow that’s everywhere makes moving around a chore. Almost all of Canada got hit with a cold spell and our region wasn’t exempt to it. We received the highest amount of snowfall seen in 12 years, and there just aren’t enough snow plows and salt/sand trucks to clear the roads, so the best thing to do during these days is to stay home. Anyways, I wish all of you a wonderful holiday season, and thank you to all who visited this website.

Four for Four at the Badminton Club

作者： TJ | 发布： 2008年11月20日

I finally returned to the school badminton club after a three week absence. One of the absences was due to a holiday, and I had something else to do on the other day. Since I haven’t played in three weeks, I expected myself to be a little bit rusty. Attendance was down this gym night, and it may be because that the school term is about to end, which means finals are looming on the horizon and a lot of projects/assignments are due. That’s good for those who attended because less people means more time on the court for us.

I played a total of four games during the session, in which I teamed up with two different guys for two games each. I was a little rusty out of the gate, but so were the opponents in the first game. Both sides were making unforced errors, but my team managed to come out on top in the first game. The next two games were went pretty similarly. Both were tight contests but both times my side claimed the victory. I was doing okay in the games but I did hit the bird out of bounds a couple of times. This may be because I just switched back to my old racket and don’t quite know how hard I should be hitting.

I was a little tired after three games (yes, I know I’m unfit), but there was plenty of time left for a fourth game so I decided to play one more. It turned out to be a good thing as my partner and I dominated our opponents from the start. I found that the opponents’ defenses were not very strong so I just crushed every high return that came my way. The attacking strategy worked well, and in the end we overpowered our opponents to take the game in convincing fashion, 21-12.

So overall I won all four games I played that night, which marks my best performance thus far at the badminton club. This was probably because my partners were pretty decent players, and I didn’t do too badly myself. However, I’m sore all over now despite playing only four games. It’s probably because I didn’t play in three weeks. Next week is the last week of classes of us, and therefore it’ll also be the last week of badminton club gym nights for this term. I will be working in the next term, but because the job is local I think I can return to school on Fridays to take advantage of my membership.

BC羽毛球大师赛的观后感

作者： JP | 发布： 2008年11月13日

在11月7、8、9日举行的BC省羽毛球大师赛，吸引了加拿大西部和美国西雅图地区的顶尖羽毛球爱好者来参加不同年龄组的比赛角逐，让我们有机会看到本地高水平的比赛。在OPEN组别中，那当然是由那些训练有素、血气方刚、体力充沛和正值当打之年的青年球手占主导地位。而在U35、U40、U45、U50、U55、U60等的年龄分段组中，那几乎都是西人球手统治了前三名。

在本人认识的华裔球手中，有SU ZHI、CHARLIE、JOHN L、ROBIN、 KEN、 KATRINA、 YIN QIAO 等人参加了比赛。最好成绩只有SU ZHI 获得他所处年龄组的男单亚军，以及他和CHARLIE 配对获男双第三。如果没有这几位华人球手的参与和拼搏，那达到半决赛就是清一色的西人面孔了。

过去人们都认为羽毛球是亚裔人打得好，羽毛球的强国中，中国、印尼、马来西亚、韩国让欧洲、北美的西人难有挑战。但到了30岁以上，西人羽毛球爱好者还是持之以恒的坚持打球和体能的锻炼，他们的运动寿命能持续很长很长，有的达到几十年。他（她）们从10来岁就开始打球，每周4、5次，几十年如一日。正因为这样，在35岁以上的中老人年组别中，华人就很难在与西人球手比赛中有所作为了。

也许有人会认为还有华人高手没有出赛，所以BC 的大师赛不能反映什么差距。但就所观看到另外几位常在温哥华羽毛俱乐部打球的华裔球手中，也几乎与西人种子选手没得打。

在世界级别中，丹麦的皮尔盖得已是30多岁的老运动员了，但中国的后起之秀陈金在最近的丹麦和法国公开赛上就两次完败在他的手下。

就手上功夫和水平来说，SU ZHI 应该拿到第一名。由于他在三天中，他还参加了两项男双和一项混双的比赛，再加上男单比赛，就总共参加4项比赛。每天多场比赛下来体能消耗极大。到了最后一天的单打决赛，移动都困难了，但还是先胜第一局，但体力透支太大，终究被对手翻盘，以1比2告负。

SU ZHI 虽败犹荣。他的竞技让西人佩服。因为几位西人单打种子选手让他给灭了，结果在场上摔拍子。最后获得第一名的西人球手也自感如果SU ZHI 有体力的话，胜负的天平就不会再他那边了。他们都问SU ZHI 是否是从中国NATIONAL TEAM 退下来的。那当然不是，但中国羽毛球队的世界级冠军中，许多人都是SU ZHI 的好朋友和座上客。

如今SU ZHI 对羽毛球精髓理解深度和球技的造旨已是很高的境界了。能有机会与他打球和讨教会是受益匪浅。可以预测，如果明年 SU ZHI 还有兴趣参加BC羽毛球大师赛，就报名一个男单项目，那获得第一名将是十个手指抓田螺，十拿九稳。

More Victories at the Badminton Club

作者： TJ | 发布： 2008年11月1日

Last week I got my first win playing at my school’s badminton club, and I was hoping to continue my winning ways this week. I made sure I arrived at the gym early so I can play as many games as possible. I ended up playing four games, which was one more than last week, but there were still plenty of people. Looks like the supposed “attendance drop” during the mid-term crunch was just a rumour after all.

In the first game I teamed up with a guy to play against a mixed doubles pair. It was more of a warm-up game because the guy on my team was pretty good, while the opponents were too strong. My team won that game without much difficulty. The second game I teamed up with another partner against my partner from the first game and the male opponent from the first game. The game was pretty tight because my former partner was a pretty skilled player, but his partner wasn’t quite up there. Meanwhile, my partner and I are more even in terms of our skill level and we ended up winning the game, although it was pretty tight up to the first 15 points. After that point I started stopping shots at the net, and my side went on an offensive run that led to our victory.

The third game of the night was against another mixed doubles pair. I was still partnered up with the same guy from the second game, and we proved to be a pretty good combination. We dominated our opponents with our smashes and took the game without much difficulty. The last game of the night was against the same mixed doubles pair, but my partner has changed to someone else. My new partner wasn’t as skilled as my previous partner, and I was getting a little tired too. The game was a tight battle, and my side clawed to 20 points first, but our opponents tied the game at 20-20. The game went into deuce, but it ended fairly quickly when my side made some errors and dropped the game 20-22.

Overall this was a pretty good night for me. I won 3 out of 4 games played, and I got some exercise as well. The key to winning these doubles games is having a good partner. If the partner is strong than I stand a much better chance of winning. Well, that’s pretty much stating the obvious, but this obvious fact become more true than ever when I’m playing with strangers.

First Taste of Victory at Badminton Club

作者： TJ | 发布： 2008年10月22日

After missing the last two gym night due to other commitments, I returned to my school’s badminton club hoping to get my first win. I was win-less in the last two outings at the club. Many of the games were close, but my side just didn’t pull through at the end. Because of schoolwork, I thought of skipping today’s gym night, but I decided to go because I needed the exercise.

In the first game of the night, I was playing against two pretty skilled players. My partner was of average skill, and I wasn’t really warmed up, so we fell 12-21 pretty quickly.  The second game of the night was against two guys, one of which was one of the opponents from my first game. I was partnered up with a girl, who happens to be our club president if I remember correctly. It was a pretty hard-fought game from the start, but my team managed to keep a slim lead. We fought to a 17-17 tie, but after that my side took control of the game. I noticed that the other guy on the opposing team wasn’t too great at hitting clears, so I blasted shots into the back corners. The strategy worked and we pulled the 21-17 victory. After two outings and 7-8 games, I finally won my first game at the badminton club.

The last game of the day was a mixed doubles pair vs. me and a big guy. By big guy, I mean the guy was *almost* as tall as I am. I think I’m the tallest guy in the badminton club right now. Back to the game, our opponents were decent but they lacked attack power nor are they very strong with clears. That doesn’t work very well when you are playing against two six-feet-plus guys like my team, so we controlled the game and won fairly easily.

So tonight I won two out of three, which was pretty good considering I haven’t won a single game in the first two gym nights. I only managed to play three games tonight because there were a lot of people who showed up. Supposedly attendance drops during the midterm crunch, but there were still plenty of people there in the gym. Lets see if I can get a winning record in the next gym night.
