The Ultimate Badminton Lessons YouTube Playlist - A comprehensive tutorial for beginners and experts alike

Hi fellow badminton fans,

I created a badminton curriculum by meticulously compiling YouTube videos into a playlist to help you efficiently reach new heights as a badminton player. The videos are YouTube lessons/guides that I sorted in (what I believe to be) a logical order: most important skills first, increasing in difficulty.

I hope you find this useful.

*Disclaimer: There are many duplicate videos about the same topic (but from different teachers/channels). Badminton is a very unpredictable sport and I would recommend comparing the techniques of different players to determine which form fits you best.

*I appreciate feedback to help me fine-tune the playlist.

*Edit: Some personal tips that I don't think were mentioned in the videos:

To reduce the risk of injury:

Footwork

- When lunging, land with your heel and point your toes toward the direction you're moving toward, or you could destroy your ankles. Also, keep your torso straight/upright, otherwise you could lean into your lunge and either lose balance or injure your knees. Also, keep your feet apart and take large steps to maintain balance and to reduce the risk of knee injury.

- Moving back to center/ready position is as important as moving up to the shuttlecock. Don't get lazy after you've hit the shuttle.

Swings

- Stay relaxed throughout every sort of swing (other than right before impact with the shuttle); for example, if you're tense during a smash, the forces of your swing translate up your arm and you could tear your rotator cuff (shoulder) muscles/tendons.

- Keep your racket up at (nearly) all times.
