0 Ketika Bulutangkis Semakin Bertambah Elite

Musim turnamen tahun depan, BWF Super Series akan mencetak sejarah baru, yakni dengan menyediakan hadiah hingga USD 1 juta! Nilai ini tentu saja sebuah langkah yang menggembirakan bagi perkembangan bulutangkis dunia. Pengakuan dunia terhadap olahraga badminton memang semakin kuat. Terbukti bahwa olahraga ini digemari oleh lebih banyak orang di berbagai benua dibandingkan keadaan, katakanlah, sepuluh tahun yang lalu. Badminton, yang oleh sejumlah kalangan disebut sebagai "one of the fastest game in the world" ternyata telah membuat banyak negara terpesona dan mulai menggelutinya.

Setidaknya untuk musim 2011-2013, kita akan menyaksikan bersama bagaimana bulutangkis menunjukkan kemajuan yang signifikan. Akan terdapat lebih banyak uang didapatkan atlet melalui olahraga ini. Total hadiah untuk satu musim tahun depan diperkirakan mencapai USD 4,7 juta. Ini berarti terjadi kenaikan dibandingkan musim ini, yang senilai USD 3,3 juta.

BWF Super Series 2011-2013 akan diselenggarakan sebanyak 12 kali, yakni di Denmark, Inggris, Prancis, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Jepang, Korea, Malaysia, Singapura, dan Cina. Dari daftar ini memang hanya terdapat 11 negara, akan tetapi perlu dicatat bahwa Cina mendapatkan kepercayaan dari BWF untuk menyelenggarakannya sebanyak 2 (dua) kali dalam satu musim. Hadiah terbanyak disediakan oleh Korea Open (USD 1,2 juta), disusul Indonesia Open (USD 600.000). Peringkat hadiah selanjutnya (masing-masing dengan hadiah minimal USD 350.000) adalah Denmark Open, All England, dan China Open.

0 How to serve

In order for your serving to be legal, you must make contact with the shuttle below your wrist and the racket shaft must point downward. Your entire racket head must be discernibly below any part of your racket hand before striking the shuttle. The underhand serve puts the shuttle in play at the beginning of each rally and, therefore, is probably the most important single stroke. The long serve is the basic singles serve. This serve directs the shuttle high and deep, and the shuttle should turn over and fall as close to the back boundary line as possible.

Long serve

The long serve resembles a forehand underhand swinging motion. Stand near the centerline and approximately 4 to 5 feet (1.2 to 1.5 m) behind the short service line. This positions you close to cetercourt and approximately equidistant from all of the corners. Your feet should be staggered up and back with your dominant foot back. the forefinger and thumb of your nondominant hand should hold the shuttle at its base, extended in front of your body about waist  level.

Short serve

Begin the short serve with the same preparation as the long serve. The primary exception is that you should stand much closer to the short service line, perhaps within 6 inches (15 cm) or less. Your racket arm begins in a similar backswing position, with your hand and wrist in a cocked position. As you release the shuttle, transfer your weight from your back foot to your forward foot and pull your arm down to contact the shuttle below waist height. However, as your racket hand comes forward, there is little or no wrist action because the shuttle is guided or pushed over the net rather than hit. The follow-through is short with your racket finishing up and in line with the serve.

0 London Tuan Rumah Kejuaraan Dunia 2011

London terpilih sebagai tuan rumah penyelenggara kejuaraan dunia bulutangkis perorangan tahun 2011. Menurut rencana, kejuaraan ini akan berlangsung dari tanggal 8 sampai dengan 14 Agustus 2011.

Tempat berlangsungnya pertandingan adalah Wembley Arena (venue ini juga akan menjadi tempat pertandingan cabang bulutangkis pada Olimpiade 2012). Chief Executive bulutangkis Inggris, Adrian Christy, mengatakan bahwa penunjukan kota London ini merupakan sesuatu hal yang "luar biasa". Ia menambahkan bahwa pihaknya akan memastikan kepada Badminton World Federation (BWF) bahwa Badminton England akan berusaha semaksimal mungkin untuk mempersiapkan Kejuaraan Dunia tahun depan. Atas nama Badminton England, Christy mengungkapkan rasa terima kasihnya kepada BWF atas keperayaan yang diberikan.

Inggris memang sedang "kebanjiran order" event olahraga. Baru-baru ini Inggris juga menjadi tuan rumah Kejuaraan Eropa 2010 yang berlangsung di kota Manchester.

Selamat England! Semoga sukses dalam penyelenggaraannya.

0 Racket Handling and Footwork

"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" is an often-quoted line from former heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali. It is an excellent description of how you need to move and hit in badminton play. Good footwork entails reaching the bird as fast as possible with as little effort as possible, like butterfly. It gets you into the best position to execute your shots, or sting like a bee, while maintaining good balance and body control.

This step will get your hands and feet ready to execute efficiently. The various ways to hold your racket for a forehand, backhand, sterve, and other shots are discussed and illustrated later. Making racket handling and footwork a habit requires practice and repetition, along with some additional thought during play.

Good badminton players constantly move the racket around in their hands. The light racket makes it possible to use wrist action initiated by forearm rotation, and therefore you can manipulate the racket at a greater speed. In addition to the lighter racket, the lightness of the shuttle makes possible greater use of the wrist without loss of control. Your racket head may be moving at a terrific speed as you throw it out to meet the shuttle. This indicates you need a firm grip at contact. Ideally, your grip in badminton should provide flexible and effortless movement of the wrist and a comfortable and secure grip with your dominant hand.
